While trawling the internet for ideas for my new living room, I discovered these fantastic retro prints by London-based Danish textile designer Gunna Ydri on Etsy. She graduated from Chelsea College of Art & Design as well as the RCA and specialises in printed textiles and illustrations, including my favourite design of hers- a cushion featuring a graphic dachshund print. She also designs a range of frames, brooches, screen prints and other equally cute accessories.
Commenting on her design process, she said: “I have always been inspired by the constant change of the city which contrasts with my rural upbringing in Denmark where I spent most of my childhood. I have a natural passion for Nordic folklore designs and ethnic patterns, which constantly inspires and infuses my work.”

For the cushions, Gunna uses water based non toxic pigments and the cushion covers are hand screen printed.
