Art School and pattern design

Lena Holtzberg has been interested in drawing since she was a young child. It was clear from the start that drawing would become a part of her profession. During her studies at Beckmans College of Design, she was drawn into the world of design and, upon graduating in 1997, immediately found a job as a designer in what was then the mail order department at H&M, Rowells.

Since then, she has created patterns and designs for several major Swedish textile and wallpaper companies and has worked for design studios in England and Italy. Currently she freelances under her own brand, Chiconique. In collaboration with Photowall, Lena has designed a wallpaper collection that celebrates the beauty and diversity of nature.

“Joyous Creations”— a tribute to nature

The natural world has always been Lena Holtzberg's biggest source of inspiration, a feature evident in her organic patterns and choices of color.

I am deeply fascinated by the immense variety of species that exist on our planet; the intricate and imaginative design of plants and animals amazes me again and again. As I encounter more incredible, almost unreal species, it is harder and harder to believe in the randomness of Darwinian theory. In my eyes, it is impossible not to be inspired by nature!

Lena Holtzberg describes her way of working as organic, careful, and uncomplicated.
Her creative process begins with the search for an inspiring image of an animal or beautiful insect. This image becomes the starting point of the design. She then selects flowers and leaves with interesting shapes, colors, and textures. From these beginnings, she begins to draw without too much planning or thinking.

My original designs emerge organically; my only goal is to create something pleasurable, with flora and fauna at the focus, that can bring joy to others.
