Story of Sandberg
Sandberg Wallpaper was founded by the Sandberg family and has specialized in wallpapers since the 1920s. In 2026, we celebrate 50 years of crafting Swedish wallpaper art.
Sandberg Wallpaper has always moved freely between past and present. We carefully study historical styles, reinterpret them, and turn them into contemporary expressions. Or, we create entirely new, hand-painted designs. Within our pattern archive, hundreds of sketches rest as a visual library that we continuously revisit. Sometimes we revive a pattern exactly as it was once created. At other times, we deconstruct it, rework it, and give it new life in a different era or context. At Sandberg, sustainability and design go hand in hand, guided by craftsmanship, heritage, and a desire to create something lasting.
The soft brushstroke, the carefully considered color palette, and the choice of printing technique are present in everything we create, all driven by a passion for adding beauty to everyday life and homes. This is what we call Swedish Wallpaper Art.
A Scandinavian Voice in Global Design
At Sandberg Wallpaper, we stand as a clear representative of Swedish aesthetic identity. For five decades, our wallpaper art has shaped homes and interiors across the globe. Deeply rooted in Swedish design tradition, our design language has reached far beyond national borders. As global interest in Scandinavian aesthetics has grown, we have emerged as one of its most distinctive interpreters, with a color palette that feels familiar yet dares to surprise.
A Sandberg wallpaper is designed to harmonise equally well with historic settings and modern homes, bringing rooms together in a natural and effortless balance.
"Our design has always stood with one foot in tradition and the other in the present. This is how we find the balance between what feels timeless and what feels contemporary."
Sandra Willund, Creative Director
"Our passion for our craft was recognized in our appointment as Purveyor to the Royal Court of Sweden, representing Swedish quality and design at the highest standard."
Timeless Favorites from Sandberg
A Jubilee Collection Connecting Past and Present
As part of our 50th anniversary celebrations, we launched the jubilee collection Sandberg Heritage. The collection brings together reinterpretations of iconic patterns, archive treasures, and entirely new designs.
Each pattern tells a story and embodies the artistry, joy, and craftsmanship that have defined Sandberg Wallpaper for five decades. Sandberg Heritage is a tribute to both past and future, and a clear example of how history continues to inspire contemporary design.
Eken, The Oak
One of Sandberg Heritage’s most beloved patterns is Eken (The Oak), created to celebrate 50 years of Swedish wallpaper art. The majestic oak holds a special place in our hearts, as we proudly carry the oak leaf in our logo, a symbol of endurance and timeless strength.
Many years ago, the Sandberg family planted an oak outside their wallpaper factory. Oaks grow at their own unhurried pace and are known for their long lifespan. Over the years, this tree has grown and matured, just as we have, standing tall with its enchanting crown and deep rooted strength.
The pattern was dedicated as a gift to His Majesty the King of Sweden on the occasion of his 80th birthday.
"For fifty inspiring years, we have created with heart and heritage. With deep gratitude and anticipation, we look ahead to shaping a future of timeless design."
