Aogoromo

AogoromoLove the bold patterns created for the Japanese brand, Aogoromo. The parent company from Kyoto, Willbe Corporation, has successfully combined traditional indigo dyeing technique with modern sensibility. The company created eleven patterns using traditional icons such as Mt. Fuji, colored carp and cherry blossoms and used them on a
variety of consumer products.

JohannaHarmaAdmiring the work of Finnish designer/illustrator Johanna Härmä. Love the bold and colorful illustrations clearly inspired by her Scandinavian background. She writes this about her inspiration:

“My work is inspired, primarily, by random daydreaming, things I see when walking around, nature, music and my hometown, forests and lake house in Hämeenlinna, Finland.”
