Wallpaper

All wallpapers are hand-painted and designed by Sandra Wall and printed using glue printing techniques, according to old traditions, in Ulricehamns Tapetfabrik. Artistic craftsmanship from the first sketch to the finished wallpaper.

The history and craftsmanship behind Forget-me-not

The idea for the wallpaper Forget-me-not took shape at the country house in Östergötland where nature is constantly present . "Forget-me-not has always been a favorite. There's something about the scale, it's so small, like a miniature flower and I've always been fascinated by everything that's mini. Then there's the blue color, love it"

The pattern is hand-painted, which is important both in the design process itself and for the result. "My belief is that products and environments created with the presence of the hand, made with care from sketch to finished result, are products and environments we feel good about, value and take care of for a long time."

Manufactured in Sweden

Förgätmigej is manufactured in Ulricehamns Tapetfabrik - a Swedish wallpaper company with roots in a genuine craft tradition. The company is run by enthusiasts with many years of experience in the craft and the industry.

Forget-me-not is printed in glue printing, which is the old traditional way of printing wallpaper. A true craft as each run is unique. The printing is done with rollers where the pattern is cut out and the printing is done wet-on-wet, which gives an almost hand-painted look. With this technique, the colors are allowed to flow into each other and create a layer-on-layer effect. The depth and luster that glue printing generates is impossible to recreate with modern machines.

Color and details

Forget-me-nots come in two color schemes; a light and a dark one, or a day and an evening one, which was the starting point when working on the color scheme. The day would have warm, light colors, warmed by the sun. Green leaves with a little more yellow in them and a background color in warm creamy white. In the evening, all the colors become cooler, like a summer evening when the sun is setting and all the green colors take on a bluer, slightly cooler tone. But the warmth still lingers in the form of a warm black background that, together with the green-blue tones, creates a nice warm and cold contrast.

Forget-me-not fits all types of styles - from classic turn-of-the-century to more modern environments. Lovely in a bedroom, living room or hallway. The pattern has a calm pattern that gives a harmonious feeling from a distance but with a high level of detail that also gives a nice experience when you are up close.
