Björn Dahlström

Designer: 

My greatest fashion icon: Issey Miyake

I work best when: I have to deal with restraints

My greatest design influence: Typography

My best design moment: When I did my first test ride on the prototype of my Z-bike

My first memory of Marimekko: The Jokapoika shirt my mother gave me as a boy

The thing I hope to bring to Marimekko: Strict graphics with a touch of warmth and playfulness

I love to wear my desert boots when I ride my bike, go to work, visit a fair, go to Paris...

Apple juice from our garden makes a great gift.

My first job ever: Working as an animator for animated films

The thought of strict routines terrifies me.

Straight line or curve? Straight line

Sketch by hand or click on computer? Computer

If I were not working as a designer, I would be: An engineer
