Larsson: The Model’s Dispatch — Nordic Travel Collection (365)

Editorial Rationale

Carl Larsson's The Model Writing a Postcard (1906) encapsulates the intimacy and simple elegance of turn-of-the-century Scandinavian life, contrasted with the urge to connect with the wider world. This extensive collection translates the painting's quiet narrative of correspondence and movement into a suite of travel and leisure goods.

The ten curated items, featuring suitcases, luggage covers, and athletic gear, turn Larsson's iconic domestic portrait into portable art. The design emphasizes Nordic softness and the comfort of home, allowing the artwork to accompany the collector on their travels.
