Hoppsan Kerstin

´Hoppsan Kerstin´ is like a versatile and easy-to-move daybed that you can effortlessly roll out wherever you like, whether it’s in front of a fireplace or out in the garden, sunbathing or stargazing.

The daybed is woven from pure wool in four colors, each a carefully curated blend of two thread colors drawn from the magical color palette of the Nordic tundra in late autumn. The pattern subtly shifts along the weave, with irregularly interwoven hints of red or green, adding depth and texture. The rug and cushion are padded with wool from Swedish sheep.

I was inspired by the nomadic culture and Swedish folk weaving, especially the beautiful patterned ‘agedynor’ (carriage cushions) that were traditionally used for seating during horse-drawn carriage rides on special occasions.

The name, ’Hoppsan Kerstin’, is the Swedish equivalent of the English expression ‘Oopsie Daisy’.

´Hoppsan Kerstin´ is part of TOGETHER - a collaborative project and exhibition celebrating the strength of Swedish Design, with focus on sustainability, quality materials and local production. A project initiated by Kadi Harjak and NK Interior, raising funds for a scholarship for an aspiring designer. This year we partnered with Kasthall, one of Swedens oldest and most iconic rug and design companies.
