YSADESIGN AS

Today we hung up a new tapestry here at Kongen called «Unda Marina» (Wave of the Sea). The work is by textile artist Ellen Lenvik, who has created a number of large tapestries for both ships as well as for other types of public spaces.

Inspiration is everywhere... sometimes all it takes is a reminder to look up! From bold forms to subtle details, each stop on our study trip sparked ideas we’ll carry into our future projects.

40 Years of Design, Innovation & Collaboration:

This year we celebrate YSA turning 4️⃣0️⃣! To mark the milestone, our team went on a study trip filled with learning, inspiration, and reflection through the Mediterranean. Over the next weeks, we’ll share some of our highlights and insights from this journey. 

Rome is the capital of the Republic of Italy and also the seat of the Holy See and the Order of Malta, both of which are considered sovereign. In ancient times, Rome was the capital of the Roman Empire, the largest and most powerful state of its time.

The Tiber River flows through the city, and the city was originally located on a hill along this river, but has grown and spread outward. Rome is not a coastal city, but lies slightly inland from the Mediterranean. In ancient times, Rome was the seat of the Roman Kingdom, the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, which had a decisive influence on European culture.
Rome has 2,746,164 inhabitants (2023), while the metropolitan area has 4,214,971 inhabitants (2023).
Rome is the administrative, cultural and religious center of Italy. The city encloses Vatican City, which is ruled by the Pope and is the spiritual and administrative center of the Roman Catholic Church.
