Rosa Blomster

Rosa Blomster by Hedvig Wallin fills a glass vase with a bouquet in pinks and reds, set against a wall of soft pink tiles. The title is Swedish for pink flowers, and that is the whole idea: dahlias, buds and striped leaves drawn in ink over watercolour, every petal its own careful shape, with the stems showing through the water. It is a simple way to bring real colour into a room, and it sits as happily in a bedroom as it does in a kitchen.
