”Signed Textile” took its start in 1954 when the Swedish department store NK launched a new collection of fabrics for the expanding public sector in Sweden. The idea was to improve the status of textile design as an art form by letting the artists sign their work. The copy right regulations regarding art work at the time was still neglected. This collection consists of 21 different patterns, some of them famous Swedish design classics. Karl Axel Pehrson´s ”Delfinisk Rörelse” (”Dolphinian Movements”) is still part of Ljungbergs assortment. It is sold by retailers both in Sweden and abroad.
This year we celebrate Signed Textile´s 50th anniversary by reproducing nine of the most popular patterns from the original collection. These have been sold exclusively at NK and STC-upholsterers since June 2, 2004. NK´s anniversary exhibition showed some of the most popular fabrics from 1954. This was the year that the fabrics in the project Signed Textiles became fully acknowledged as handicraft.
From this year on it is included in our ordinary collection and is sold by all our retailers. A world famous collection and a Swedish cultural heritage! |

Contract Collection
With the new year´s addition to our collection we feel that, at last, Ljungberg´s has taken a big step forward and become an important supplier of curtains for public interior decoration. For many years past we have been busy developing a broader choice of textiles for public environments and with our new %u201DFlower Power%u201D collection we show that we are serious about this! Well, serious we cannot really ever be here at Ljungberg%u2019s, because it is such great fun with textiles. Textiles must always lend a feeling of cosiness to the environment, and %u201Dserious%u201D is perhaps not the right word when we are talking about a collection called %u201DFlower Power%u201D, exploding in colours on our own, new Trevira CS quality!?
This year, for the first time, we have extended the collection with a uni-colour range with ten matching colours in the same %u201DSolo Structure%u201D quality. We have tried to give a bit of a %u201Dlinen look%u201D to our own, new Trevira CS quality, %u201DSolo Structure%u201D, to connect to our history as old and well known cotton- and linen printers. As, however, many of our customers want products that also meet the high requirements on flame-protection and an easy-wash-quality that the market wants, we must adapt to these demands and offer Ljungberg´s patterns on flame-proof material, without foregoing our ambition to renew and provide %u201Dthe public curtain-world%u201D with some wonderful, funny and newly created patterns and offer a product 100% Swedish of top quality.
Textiles for public interior decoration are a wide concept. We come across public textiles in so many different environments. Therefore, we think, the patterns have to represent all kinds of interiors; everything |

Home Collection
A home without textiles is a stark and soulless place. Textiles create a feeling of cosiness and an atmosphere that we want to surround us with. They make the acoustics pleasant, they can filter or block out the sunshine and they liven up dark windows, and last but not least, they tell us about our identity - the one that we want to show our guests.
With only one metre of material, we can in fact change a room, a whole interior. Sometimes it is enough with a small cushion to add the finishing touch. You can use textiles, if you want to work magic in your rooms, for just a small amount of money. Textiles that can be exchanged make the interior decoration flexible.
This year we have again included a couple of the authentic, historic textiles in the collection. We felt that we wanted to keep Lars Sjöberg’s collection intact. We have also added two new eighteen century replicas: ”Flor” and ”Ranbo”.
These textiles with connections back to Swedish history, not least to the pre-industrial development at the end of the 18th century, have such a thrilling history that we could write a whole book about them. But first and foremost they are, of course, such fine and timeless patterns, suitable for so many different environments, ”for both country and estate”! |

X-AT 2007
Every year, as the examination period approaches, we have inquires from a number of students. They need to have their patterns printed and they need sponsoring. We are happy to help them as much as we can, because the co-operation with the students is often very stimulating.
For the fifth time, we are now printing textiles that are part of their examination projects. This will enable everybody who is interested in design to buy these special and unique textiles. It would be a great pity, if the screens with these beautiful patterns were just to be dismantled when the graduation exhibition is over, would it not?
This year, for the first time, we have been via a foreign design college and made contact with a Scanian girl, living in Malmö, Sara Klein Svensson, who has just acquired her Master’s Degree at the Copenhagen College of Design. Very exciting, we think.
The patterns of last year’s X-AT student, Karoline Lenhult, who in her graduation project at HDK in Gothenburg wanted to diminish the distance between the patterns of children and adults by creating a collection that would appeal to both age groups, are of course still available, just as Therese Öberg’s ”Watercourse”, which we now place in our standard collection.
The graduation collections show that we at Ljungberg’s are serious in our aim to be a forum for Swedish design – both the young on its way and the ones already established. We want to show you the classical patterns as well as the trends of today, but here and now you can see the newest and youngest we have of Swedish textile design: the classics of tomorrow! |

Exclusive
We all have our personal treasury. However, the value and the importance of it is subjective and varies from one person to another, but what these things do have in common is that every treasure is exclusive, unique and irreplaceable. We at Ljungberg´s have gathered some of our treasures in a collection, where hand-print and personal commitment are the distinguishing marks.
With this collection, we want to give you a chance to stop, reflect and to look back; times like ours are so filled with stress! The demand for additional and faster technical solutions increases. This is, of course, an important part in our continued development, but the handicraft must absolutely not be forgotten. We want to look after it with loving care. Through the older patterns, we want to express our wish to recreate, to stress the importance of colour fragrance, precision, the work of the hand and the genuine knowledge of textile.
EXCLUSIVE COLLECTION is our contribution to a unique Swedish treasure chest, full of textile treasures, to which we now open the lid. We now offer you the opportunity to share the ”Signed Textile”-Collection from 1954 that was recreated to a certain extent in co-operation with the Swedish Upholsterers´ Union in 2004. This is a world-unique collection of textiles. It is strangely up-to-date - to be half a century old! Timeless!
As a valuable resource we have had the Design Archives in Pukeberg and the descendants of the designers, who in a very committed way safeguard this cultural heritage. Thank you for your confidence! |
