Her practice brings together bold prints, graphic pattern-making, and a clear sense of materiality. Through textiles, table linens, small household objects, and surface designs, she explores how color, form, and repetition can shape everyday routines and contribute to a meaningful domestic environment.
Gahmberg’s work is defined by a balance between expressive illustration and practical design. Her patterns often feature unexpected compositions, while the objects she creates are intended to be used, handled, and integrated into daily life. This combination of visual playfulness and functional clarity is central to her approach.
She is part of Gahmberg & Gahmberg, a studio working across visual communication and design. The studio’s work includes concept development, art direction, graphic identity, publications, exhibition design, and digital platforms. Prior to this, she ran Bäck Studio, a multidisciplinary design practice focused on art direction, graphic design, and branding for both cultural and commercial clients.
Across her projects, Gahmberg maintains a consistent interest in how illustration, pattern, and form can support the intended purpose of an object or visual system. Her work reflects a commitment to clarity, material understanding, and the role of design in everyday settings.
