Lotta Helleberg, a Swedish native and graphic designer with a passionate interest in botany, gardening, and sewing, founded inleaf in 2003. Nature, in its exquisite beauty, is the main inspiration for her work and she uses a technique called leaf printing, where the paint is applied to the back of a fresh leaf, which is then pressed onto the fabric surface. The result is a collection of lovely objects that brings the deceivingly simple allure of nature into everyday life.
