If the fashion collaborations between avant-garde and/or expensive names with more mainstream giants follow one another and tend to look alike, those on the decoration side are a little rarer. H&M Home just released a double collaboration on March 16, 2023, featuring South African artist Lulama Wolf on one side and American artist Amber Vittoria on the other. And if their name doesn’t tell you anything, their projects for the Swedish giant might capture your attention and make you want to enrich your interior design with poetry.
