Summer Flowers 2024

This collection is inspired by something I really love where I live in Denmark: “Vild med Vilje.”
It roughly translates to “Wild on Purpose.” And the idea is simple (and honestly kind of genius): we stop trying to control nature all the time, and instead we let it do what it’s good at.

So instead of trimming everything down, mowing everything flat, and deciding what’s allowed to grow, people choose to leave parts of their gardens and green areas alone. Wildflowers show up. Native plants return. Insects come back. Birds come back. Life comes back. It looks a little messy sometimes, but it’s the good kind of messy. The alive kind.

And once you start noticing it, you can’t unsee it.
The roadside flowers. The tall grass. The random little purple blooms that appear like they own the place. The dry seed heads. The sun on yellow petals. The earthy browns underneath it all. It’s a whole color world, and it changes every week.

That’s what Summer Flowers 2024 is based on.

It’s a palette built from those exact summer tones: yellow, white, dusty purple, green, and warm earthy browns. Like wild meadows, sunlit field edges, and the kind of nature that doesn’t ask permission.

The colors are:

6 – Hummingbird Green
9 – Havana Ocher
10 – Yellow Lemon
44 – Golden Ocher
69 – Resilience
128 – Rayne’s Grey
129 – Gayne’s Grey
150 – RetroRay
187 – Sydney
189 – Amsterdam
239 – Bliss

All colors are handmade with natural, non toxic ingredients, so they are safe to use and made with the same studio values as everything else I create.

If you want a collection that feels like real summer nature instead of “perfect garden summer,” this is it. Quiet, blooming, a little wild, and full of life.
