Wildlife by
Vera & Kyte
Vera & Kyte found inspiration in Norwegian fauna when designing our collection Wildlife. A playful collection for the children’s room
The collection is designed to spark curiosity and the kids sense of wonder. The design presents a balance between playfulness and elegance with its complex motives and a rich color palette.

“Striking the right balance between playfulness and elegance was particularly important in the process of developing a children’s collection. The designs navigate this landscape with bold colours and sophisticated palettes in combination with motifs somewhere between realism and fantasy”
