Kjeld is a Danish designer that encourages clients to create their own wallpaper designs to decorate their home in a more individual way. The collection consists of 8 patterns, including 4 hybrids. By means of transition wallpaper, so called hybrids, it is possible to combine 2 different repeat patterns therefore creating different atmospheres. The patterns are unique and they can be combined. This combination creates decorative soft transitions. But more than being an elegant decoration the collection can be used functional to make space within space. This gives the possibility to create a more personal decoration.
The work focuses on way wallpaper defines a space and designs morph into each other from roses, to lace, to leaves. The use of layered patterning gives a historical sensibility 'shabby-chic', decollaged aesthetic and use of pastel palette.
Looking at Kjeld's work I see how it is possible to successfully combine different patterns and elements and how wallpaper can really change the feeling of a space. I admire the interchanging qualitites. With my own design I will try and keep the sense of playfullness and fun creating a space people will enjoy being in. I want the designs to be incredibly detailed so that the viewer looks at a different part everytime they view the work seeing it as a real celebration of vintage ephemera.
