Eldblomman wallpaper
Eldblomman (The Fire Blossom) is one of Josef Frank’s most popular wallpapers, available in red, blue, and grey. The pattern features a sturdy stem running diagonally upward, intertwined with a delicate, small-flowered climbing plant. Fine spiral lines and tiny blossoms create a perfect counterbalance to the bold, powerful elements.
Josef Frank’s Wallpapers
Josef Frank always designed different kinds of prints for specific purposes. He never used fabric patterns for wallpapers or wallpaper patterns for fabrics, but made sure that each pattern had a unique use.
Josef Frank “Bright colours and powerful patterns can take away the feeling
of confinement. Even a pokey little cubicle can become exciting with striking wallpaper.”

For nearly 170 years, contemporary wallpapers have been produced by the Åsunden lake in Västergötland, Sweden. In Ulricehamn’s Wallpaper Factory, employees work to preserve artisanal traditions to bring that heritage into the future.
