In the Weave of Creation
Included in the admission
Location: Kamelia in Villa Abelin
Four of Sweden's foremost fashion designers – Bea Szenfeld, Frida Jonsvens, Martin Bergström, and Linnéa Samia Kahlil – transform Norrviken’s gardens into their canvas, muse, and inspiration. In this exhibition, four completely different creative expressions come together, united by a common source: nature as the mother of all art.
Follow the fascinating process from the first sketches and trials to the completed masterpieces, where every detail is a love letter to Norrviken’s unique garden environment. Through exclusive insights into the creative journey, you’ll experience what unfolds, as skilled hands and a sensual eye transform ideas into magical creations. In the Weave of Creation is a celebration of the synergy between art, fashion, and nature—a must-see exhibition.
Meet the Creators
Bea Szenfeld
Bea Szenfeld is a pioneer in contemporary Swedish fashion. Her artistic, experimental garments made from unusual materials reflect a disregard for trends, beauty ideals, and commercial success. Szenfeld’s distinctive design language is rooted both in her inspiration from nature and her strong drive to explore uncharted ideas. Long days in her studio transform blank sheets of paper into extraordinary sculptural creations.
Frida Jonsvens
Frida Jonsvens is the fashion designer on everyone’s lips, drawing inspiration from the power and colors of nature. She works with bold colors, varying fabric textures, and an abundance of prints. Known for voluminous skirts with dramatic falls, her designs are far from Scandinavian minimalism. "Less is not more," says Frida. She has a passion for upcycling, giving old curtains and fabrics new life. She has designed dresses for royalty, gala lions, and Nobel guests, and was the costume designer for the popular film Glada Hudik's "Catwalk."
Martin Bergström
Martin Bergström is a multidisciplinary artist and designer working in a bold, abstract, and organic style. He fluidly navigates between fashion, design, and art, seeing them all as part of the same creative journey. An idea can appear just as easily on a dress as on a vase or in a painting. In Martin’s art, poetry and humor blend seamlessly with inspiration drawn from flowers, mushrooms, roots, and plants. His creations have been exhibited in Madrid, Shanghai, Tokyo, Moscow, London, and Stockholm.
Linnéa Samia Kahlil
Linnéa Samia Kahlil left the music scene in 2020 to begin creating clothes in her studio in Malmö. Her innovative designs are characterized by groundbreaking silhouettes and material choices. With a focus on upcycling, she creates unique garments that can be rented or purchased at the Pampas store. Her work has gained significant attention, especially after designing Eurovision winner Nemo’s voluminous stage costume for ESC 2024.
