Svensk Form Värmland: Sophia Forslund

Motivation:
This year's shape bearer in Värmland is Sophia Forslund, who has run the company Forslundska Form in Torsby since 2019. Sophia makes shape and colorful graphic design, illustrations and products that breathe the 70s but also the natural. It is motifs and patterns that are permeated by life and movement and a humorous tone. In Sophia's newly built and close-to-nature studio in northern Värmland, ideas, illustrations and shapes merge into unique creations that range from decorative objects to utility items. Each object is a manifestation of Sophia's ability to add color to the everyday and transform ordinary objects into works of art.

Sophia has previously been selected as a Design Talent at Formex and made one of this year's Christmas trees at the same fair. During the year, she has also started collaborations with Ekelund, which weaves her rugs, and Klippan wool factory. This shows that her design is both functional and deeply personal - we see a palette of colorful patterns and shapes, inspired by a bygone era but deeply rooted in the present.
