The entire collection was designed by interior designer Mikael Löfström, who claimed to have the Scandinavian origin in mind when creating the fabrics.
The textile patterns were based on fragments, beginning with MALVINA representing small blue windows. The patterns grew and expanded on the subsequent fabrics, and came together in MAINE, where an entire city in several colours covered the fabric.
The collection was presented over a whole spread in the 1999 IKEA catalogue, under the heading “Scandinavian design”. It was sold at IKEA until 2001.
