 “Ramsjö” reproduction Art Nouveau wallpaper by Duro

The vintage sample that Ramsjö is based on comes from Ramjsö in Ljusdal. The original paper was was produced in 1910-1920 from a Viennese Art Nouveau design.

This pattern is an example of how the Art Nouveau style changed the look of wallpapers in the early twentieth century. Art and culture trends from Vienna led to designs becoming more simplified than before. This paper still features the common motif of plants striving upwards, but these are more stylised in their design. The flowers became part of the ornamentation, the stalks becoming straight parallel lines.
