BIRONG wallpaper | warm gray

In the bottom drawer of the birong cabinet, life's treasures are stored. Well hidden and carefully folded between mangled linen cloths with hand-embroidered monograms. An old train ticket, a cherished invitation card and a paper money from times gone by. The BIRONG pattern is inspired by the craft tradition of Ostrobothnia, Finland. The word birong used to be a common Finnish-Swedish term for chest of drawers, and a birong cabinet was a large cabinet with pull-out drawers at the bottom. On Björkö in the Vaasa archipelago, for example, people have decorated their cupboards with symmetrical floral decorations over the years. This type of furniture does not apologize, but takes over the room. So does the BIRONG wallpaper with its magnificent, medallion-like repetition. The BIRONG wallpaper is a non-woven wallpaper, screen printed using traditional methods at Ulricehamns Tapetfabrik in Sweden. The material is certified according to ÖKO-Tex standard 100 and consists of FSC-certified pulp and recycled synthetic fibers from PET bottles. The wallpaper is dimensionally stable and easy to use. Only water-based paints and varnishes, free from PVC, heavy metals and other substances that harm the environment, have been used in production.
