Kandersteg Blumen


“The hills are alive, with the sound of music”
Floral Collection, 2024








This floral collection is intended for interiors, walltextiles + wallpaper, upholstery, drapery, etc. Inspired by the sweetness of springtime in the Swiss Alps (Kandersteg-Blauensee) and the crispness of the alpine air.












This is an exploratory floral collection designed for home interior fabrics and prints. Each pattern was synthesized from photographed flowers and plants reminiscent of the Kandersteg-Blauensee area of Switzerland. This collection is meant to be a luxurious and immersive experience, with each texture map designed to bring the essence of nature into living spaces.  







Rug designs 
























The hills are alive with the sound of music
With songs they have sung for a thousand years
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
My heart wants to sing every song it hears
My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds
That rise from the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies
From a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls over
Stones on its way
To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray
I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
I know I will hear what I've heard before
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
And I'll sing once more
