RHYTHMIC CLOTH


Fokus by Anna Danielsson, 2001


Swedish textile designer, Anna Danielsson draws inspiration from nature, architecture, collectible items such as African masks and the tattoos of indigenous cultures. Her works have been included in Marimekko's interior design collection since 2001.

Marimekko is a Finnis based print and design company mostly known for its bold patterns first on the scene in the 1950's. Featuring over sized organic prints on loosely structured clothing that give its wearer a generous amount of freedom to move.

Anna envisions her designs in unexpected public spaces
in the future, where they can interact naturally with both the observer and the environment.

"A fabric’s effect on its surroundings fascinates me. I try to give each pattern a life of its own: temperament, temperature and rhythm."
- Anna
