Meet The Artist

Maja Säfström

Meet Maja Säfström, Stockholm based illustrator and author!

Describe what you do: I work as an illustrator. Actually, I have a master's degree in architecture but I was remarkably bad at being an architect (kept falling asleep at my desk) so the world is much better off with me drawing cute animals instead of buildings.

Where do you live? Where do you work? I live in Stockholm (a bit outside to be honest but I bike to my studio in the city in 15 minutes everyday!!!!!) ok 20 minutes… 23 minutes to be exact. And it's an electric bike. 

Favorite Color Combination: I love orange and pink together but for clothes I wear almost only black in the winter and almost only beige in the summer. 

What inspired you to design blankets with Biquette? 

I saw a few of your earlier collabs on instagram and they looked so beautiful so I just started love bombing the account (and this might be the best advice I can give someone!) by liking everything Biquette posted. I hoped you would notice me and love me back!!!!

Can you tell us a bit about the design process and inspiration for the blanket collection?

Well this design is a bunch of dogs. I don’t have an amazing story behind it other than the fact that I have been drawing cats for so long then I realized dogs are SO fun to draw. There are so many variations!! Tiny! Big! Hairy! Just look at them. So cute.

Shop Collection

Is there a particular message or theme you hope to convey through this collection?

Hahhaha that would be funny. No, I think the reason for these blankets to exist is to be very, very pretty and keep your warm and cozy. Who could ask for more from a blanket?!
