One of the earliest posts I did when I started this blog was on a wonderful book about the work of Swedish artist and designer, Olle Eksell.

His simple and playful illustrations capture a joyful spirit that has inspired generations. Needless to say, I was super excited to hear that Ikea has now launched a capsule collection showcasing Olle Eksell’s work, called Önskedröm.

The collection is explores several motifs: there’s a series of silly and kooky bird creatures, including birds as hippies and some fantasy plants, and then there’s a whole graphic group that includes colorful matches, cityscapes, and candles.
