Sverrir’s Art and Design Gallery:
2017 and onwards
In 2017, Sverrir discovered that print-on-demand services offered the possibility of designing a range of products, which the services could then produce, one piece at a time, when someone ordered that product. New types of products were constantly being added to the collection of these services. These included clothes, personal accessories and home décor items.
All that was needed to do was to design a digital image into a pre-determined template, and upload the image to the website of the print-on-demand service. He saw that this would be a much easier way of creating fashion and luxury products, than using the way that were available back in 1986 to 1994 when he was in his design years.
He had never really lost interest in designing in these fields, even if he was doing things in entirely different fields. Sometimes he was thinking, that he could turn to designing in his retirement years. But with these new possibilities, and a revived interest in designing, why not go into it right away? So now he took out the envelope with the Viking age artwork, that he had gathered together back in 1991 when he was an art school student. With a good computer and knowledge of design programs, it took just a short time to be up and running again.
On this page, expect to see new and notable designs being uploaded from time to time. You can also see all designs that are available on the website of Sverrir’s new design brand, Look: Viking!
A new scarf design
This design is in the Broa style, which was the style that was popular in the beginning of the Vikings age, from 790-850 A.D.
The original ornamentation was on the side on the 9th century, Broa style barrel shaped brooch. The brooch was found in a grave excavation in the region of Uppland, Sweden:
kimono robe
This design is in the Borre style, which was the style that was popular in the beginning of the Vikings age, from 850-950 A.D. The design comes from a woman’s barrel shaped brooch.
Sverrir designs the pattern in the computer, and then simply uploads the JPEG image to the website of the print-and-make-on-demand service, that will create the actual garment. The 3-D computerized rendering of the garment is made by that company.
