About Åsa Jungnelius
Åsa Jungnelius, born in 1975, is an internationally recognised artist and designer. Her professional practice as a designer is a reflection of her art, which is driven by the issues she is interested in. One example is the Make Up collection, which Jungnelius created for Kosta Boda as a mini-version of on of her works of art.
Jungnelius has worked with glass as a material since she was 17 years old. Since 2007, she has worked with Kosta Boda, and is today also a lecturer at Konstfack. She has previously initiated and run Residence-In-Nature, WeWorkInAFragileMaterial and LASTSTUDIO. Among her larger works is the sculpture Snäckan, which, in a tribute to motherhood, will embrace the entire upcoming Hagaplan subway station in Stockholm. Over the years, she has been awarded a number of awards – she has been named the Swedish designer of the year by both FORM AWARD and EDIDA (Elle Decoration International Design Award), she is a two-time winner of the Elle Decoration Swedish Design Award and the Red Dot 'Best of the Best' Award, and she has received both the Form Award and the Bukowski Born Classic for its design.
Åsa was appointed an honorary doctorate at Linnaeus University in 2023.

About Emma von Brömssen

Durability and quality are some of the characteristics that distinguish both the brand and the designer's product collaborations. The combination of harmonious Nordic color tones and patterns inspired from nature, mean that her designs make the home feel alive. In 2016, Emma was named this year's shooting star by Elle Decoration with the motivation "Dazzling skill combined with a strong feeling for all the inspiration that nature provides is the basis for the pattern treasure that the shooting star of the year has created.

About Frösö Handtryck
Frösö Handtryck is one of the country's oldest and one of the few remaining handprinters. In their printing house in Jämtland, they work solely with water-based colors and the fabrics do not go through any washing processes, which gives a uniquely low environmental impact. Their solid knowledge of the craft means that they are often hired by museums and institutions to recreate historical textiles. Now, on behalf of the Göteborg Opera, they have transferred Emma von Brömssen's drawings to an exclusive Belgian linen.
