Apple garden

Designer: Anniina Isokangas (2017) 

The ornate apple blossom pattern of "Apple Garden" was sketched by hand in ink, and the pattern features visible illustrative strokes. It reflects spring and the awakening of nature. Over the years, the pattern has brought joy not only to clothing and fabrics but also through items like trays and postcards.

In our yard, an old apple tree grew. We built a home there and, as companions to the old tree, planted six more apple trees. Now the trees have grown large, and in our garden, there's now an orchard area, an Apple Garden. The apple trees symbolize the passage of time, permanence, and new beginnings each spring when the bare trunks burst into bloom again. - Anniina
