Swedish interior design brand Layered has teamed up with Danish floral artist Thilde Maria Haukohl, the creative force behind Poppykalas, to launch their second collaborative collection, “Magic Garden.”
Building on the success of their award-winning Secret Garden collection from 2019, the new Magic Garden collection draws inspiration from the vibrant beauty of a garden in full bloom. Haukohl explains, “From the harmonious blend of hues to the intricate textures reminiscent of flower petals, each piece is a celebration of nature’s beauty. Before our last collaboration, I had never imagined my floral creations could translate into rugs. However, as we embarked on this journey together, it became increasingly clearer how seamlessly the floral creations would be captured in vibrant floor coverings.”
This year’s collection reflects the cyclical nature of gardens, mirroring the changing seasons with a vibrant color palette that ranges from soft pastels to lush, warm tones. Each rug tells a story of transformation and renewal.
The Magic Garden collection features two unique designs. The “Magic Garden” rug evokes a tranquil garden scene with earthy tones accented by hints of pale pink, peach, and orange. The “Sleeping Flower” rug is inspired by peonies, lilacs, fragrant sweet peas, and spring cherry blossoms, incorporating touches of blue to represent the sky, alongside rich green hues and delicate accents of dark red and light pink. Haukohl describes it as a homage to dormant flowers awaiting their moment to bloom.
“I am inspired by nature, always,” Haukohl adds. “The flowers are my muses. Their vivid colors, delicate textures, and otherworldly presence always amaze me. The abundance of nature reminds me of my connection to something greater, and it is that essence that I sought to capture in the collection.”
The Magic Garden collection is a testament to the seamless blend of floral artistry and interior design, celebrating nature’s beauty through exquisite floor coverings.
