8 | LUXlife Magazine ince introducing The Sörmland Collection, its first line of bespoke wallpaper, in 2021, Ennisance has gone on to become Sweden’s leading company for those in search of bespoke, hand-painted wallcoverings. This line, which is the product of years of exploration and a passion for classical Chinese art followed by research into the traditional techniques of chinoiserie wallpaper carried out by Enni, marked the beginning of a journey that is today defined by her unique aesthetic style – one of harmony with the natural world. Blending the heritage of traditional Chinese silk-screen painting with the aesthetics and symbolism inherent across Scandinavian-style designs, the latter inspired by the textures, colours, and stories Enni observes in her garden by Lake Mälaren in the Swedish countryside, Ennisance specialises in crafting elaborate silk or gilded wallpapers that are painted and embroidered by hand. Enni grew up in Ostrobothnia, Finland, where her grandmother’s art, books and garden shaped her design aesthetic. Today, she brings these influences together, creating tailored pieces to exact dimensions using exceptional hand-embroidery techniques dating back over 900 years, some recognised on the UNESCO Intangible World Heritage List. “Every wallpaper is made to measure with precision and respect for the environment. We do not keep stock; instead, each piece is created exclusively for its intended space, ensuring a perfect harmony between art, craftsmanship, and setting.” Capturing Nordic nature and gardens through a traditional, hand-painted lens is Ennisance’s specialty, and the blend of this with the delicate embroidery techniques mentioned above ensure that every wallpaper it puts its name to sets a precedent for composition and customisation in the same breath. Placement is a key aspect of this process, and Enni has been known to rework entire designs so that a seamless fit is achieved, adjusting everything from the colour to the details so that it reflects a client’s vision for their space.
