Sketches for a Treehouse Pattern
4 December 2009 // Filed under analogue + commando group + illustration + sketches
First sketches for a new textile pattern made for Mette Møller. Inspiration is drawn from the 50′s song book “Syng med Barna” (Sing with the Children) and this strange little poem: Den som er liten og ikkje fer sove, han kan gå i skogen og byggja seg ei stove, ospelauv og bjørkelauv det skal han ha til tak, oksekjøt og kveitebrød det skal han ha til mat, i si vesle stove. (The little one who can’t sleep, he can go out in the woods and build a cabin. He can use leaves from birch and aspen for roof, and eat beef and white bread.) The pattern is built over children’s treehouses, at the same time constructed and organic, and made with great visions and hope for the future. A further developed version of the treehouse pattern will appear in Mette Møllers summer 2010 collection.
