Autumn / Winter 2014
The year 2013 marked the beginning of a collaborative venture involvingElsa Beskow’s estate, publishing house Bonniers and
Design House Stockholm. The endearing stories by the children’s book authorand illustrator Elsa Beskow have been interpreted by Catharina
Kippel, a designer who has worked with Design House Stockholm right fromthe beginning. The venture has been a success both in Sweden
and internationally.
Elsa Beskow’s storybooks are an important part of many children’searly lives both in Sweden and elsewhere. Accordingly, when
Bonniers contacted Design House Stockholm to enquire as to whether wewere interested in managing and developing one of Sweden’s
most important cultural treasures, we could hardly refuse. Our choiceof designer fell on Catharina Kippel whose modern style of
design and treatment of visual motifs in constructing patterns makeher perfect for the assignment. Using visual quotations from Elsa Beskow’s
works Catharina stresses the humour with which Elsa so typicallyportrays people and nature.
This folder illustrates the autumn /winter collection.
Welcome to the world of Elsa Beskow!
Next morning, the sky was a clear, bright blue and the snowy branches glittered in the sun. Shouting with excitement,
the children ran outside, stamping in and out of snow drifts and rolling in the snow until they looked
like huge snowballs themselves. The hare was as happy as the children and he raced up, looking for a new game to play.
Tom and Sam harnessed him to the sledge and away they went like the wind.
