The new textile surfaces collection Newstalgia, designed for Radici by Tekla Evelina Severin – known as Teklan – reinterprets the style of 1960s and 1970s patterns, playing with colors and proportions. The name evokes the feeling of a past moment, a distant era, yet revitalized by the curiosity and energy tied to something new.

The result is a catalog featuring vibrant shades and balanced combinations, straight lines, geometric shapes, and three-dimensional patterns that create unexpected perspectives. The color mix, strongly linked to the designer’s signature style, combines warm tones such as peach and burgundy, as well as contrasting hues like light blue and terracotta.

Tekla Evelina Severin was born in 1981 in Gävle, Sweden, but has resided in Stockholm for the past 20 years. After graduating in 2010 with a degree in Interior Design and Architecture from Konstfack University of Arts and Crafts, she worked in several architecture and design studios in Stockholm before founding her own multidisciplinary, color-focused studio in 2015.
Her work spans interior design, furniture, clothing, accessories, set design, art direction and photography, but the heart of it all always remains color. She finds the ever-changing relationship between colors fascinating: “Color is never absolute, it is always relative, it is what you put next to it that defines it.”
