The Talented Ms. Bengtsson

It was sheer coincidence that we met. I was having coffee by myself in Moderna Museet’s restaurant when she was looking for a place to sit. Trying to carry a tray and several books in her arms, she seemed as if she could use some help. So, I decided to give her a hand; pull the empty chair opposite to mine and invited her to join me. Glad that I did; otherwise I wouldn’t be able to meet this talented pattern designer.

“Design for me is about communicating a certain feeling to other people” says Lisa, “The day I realized I could communicate that feeling through my own creative ability I decided I wanted to become a designer.” Lisa Bengtsson’s work does indeed communicate an array of feelings. Showing up on everything from wallpaper to plates and scarves, her designs decorate the lives of daydreamers and time travelers.
