Valmuska Fabric from Marimekko



To add a punch of vibrant colour to our all white bedroom we chose this fabric from the Swedish company Marimekko to create an economical piece of art for our walls. The fabric, called 'Valmuska' was designed by Erja Hirvi and is 'an abstract representation of forest mushroom caps viewed from below'.

We are going to make a wood frame and stretch the fabric over it like a canvas to create a large wall hanging. Apparently the 'trick' is to put a slight chamfer on the wooden frame that slopes towards the centre of the canvas so you dont see the wood pressing up against the fabric. I'll let you know how it goes...
