AIKA Atelier Stockholm creates lifestyle products that
tell unique stories and highlight the aesthetic of surroundings through our design.
We are inspired by the curiosity of everyday life.
Aika means “time” in Finnish, which goes hand-in-hand with our ambition of creating timeless design.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU SEE?
The SEE collection was inspired by everyday surrounding illusions and optical art. The inspiration was interpreted into black and white lines and anaglyph sketches. Prints from the SEE collection offer a surreal vision to urge people to look back and question their visual perception. When viewed through 3D glasses, the anaglyph prints provide yet another appearance in the collection.
The concept is also a reflection on our world and society. Depending on our personal views and values, we all see things differently. It is important to try on other glasses to broaden our perspective.
EYES
Fine drawings from 18th-century French encyclopedia are the inspiration of the Eyes collection. These two-dimensional hand drawings play with your eyes and appear to be three-dimensional images of marble working and the beekeeping process.
In the EYES collection, these images were interpreted from the original drawings into simplified embroidery patterns on linen.
Marble Flower, Marble Tiles and Beehive are names of patterns in EYES collection.
