The Icelandic Sweetbriar Rose
Emma Jansson, founder of the brand Eplaros, lives on a small farm in Hultsfred in the south of Sweden, together with her partner and their two hunting dogs. Every year, Emma spends a few weeks in southern Lapland, in the Vindelfjällen Nature Reserve.
The word Eplarós means Sweetbriar Rose in Icelandic. In Swedish, Sweetbriar Rose translates into “Apple rose”, which is why Emma’s signature is an apple half. See if you can spot it in her designs!
"Ever since I was a child, I’ve been fascinated by nature. Changing scenery from the deep forests of southern Sweden to the flora and fauna of Lapland has inspired to many new illustration and design."
The history behind Eplaros
From the forest in southern & north Sweden
The inspiration for Emma’s designs comes from Swedish nature, and from her love for the Icelandic horse. Her illustrations include everything from forests, patterns, farm yards, Icelandic horses, wild and/or tame animals, to hunting and fishing inspired themes. Oftentimes her art captures an encounter she’s had, sprinkled with imagination and fantasy of course.
