JAPANESE - moomin fabrics

I am loving these official Moomin fabrics spotted on the web this week. The "Moomin Tribute Works" collection have been produced in Japan by Quarter Report. Finnish author Tove Jansson's Moomin characters are very popular in Japan, as they are all over the world. The Fabrics were designed by someone known to Print & Pattern readers already ( we previously featured him here) Masaru Suzuki who has previously worked with another famous brand from Finland - Marimekko, as well as having his own label OTTAIPNU. Product catalogues for all the Moomin fabrics, curtains, cushions, trays etc can be found online here at Quarter Report



































JAPANESE - spia

Talking of things Japanese I also came across a really nice print called 'Twinkle' (above and below) from Osaka based company Spia (Fine Co. ltd). Spia have a selection of colourful patterns which are used on bags, purses, gadget cases, etc. Here are some of the highlights with more online here.













CALENDAR - petra wolff

Designer Petra Wolff has created a new 2015 calendar. The design of calendar is the result of Finnish and German cultural elements combined together. Petra has been living in Germany now for 3 years and thought it would be nice to honor "this awesome country" by giving her strongly Finland-inspired illustrations some German flavor. Available online now.
