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?!

And finally, where can we see your work? Website, social media, IRL…

Superb Craftsmanship!

The attention to detail is phenomenal. The blanket is stunningly lovely and so soft. Customer service is old school: a real, knowledgeable person answers their phone, mistakes I made in ordering (color) were easily corrected, and for the personalization, they sent a proof to be sure it was right before knitting. The product is unique and makes a lovely gift.You will not be disappointed!

Colorful And Fun Throw Blanket!

The quality and colors of this throw blanket exceeded my expectations. I'm sending it onward as a new home gift and cannot wait for it to arrive on my daughter's doorstep!

A giving gift

I first got introduced to Biquette several years ago while visiting Brooklyn, NY. The person helping me was wonderful and fell in love with the company and the brand. I had been looking for a gift for a friends baby and this was perfect. Since then I think I've purchased 8+ personalized baby blankets from Biquette for other such occasions. It is MY go to gift for new born babies....AND the reviews from the parents ARE overwhelmingly positive. I've actually had to tell those parents NOT to by it for mutual friends who are having a child. This is MY gift idea:/. Let's just say this gift is on my speed dial list;). You won't go wrong with the blankets from Biuette!!

I bought 2!

The product is beautiful, the weight of the throw is great for the evening while reading a book and heavy enough to keep you cozy for a nap.
The purchase and shipping/delivery was very smooth, and the value is there.

Great gift

Super quality & great service! Thank you so much!
