A cohesive textile collection in cotton, adorned with a number of bold patterns in vivid colours like bright blue, red, yellow and black. 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 are based on fragments, beginning with MALVINA representing small blue windows. The patterns grow and expand on the subsequent fabrics, and come together in MAINE, where an entire city in several colours covers 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.
