True Love isn't Hearts and Flowers

The True Love isn’t Hearts and Flowers design by Magnus Gjoen stages a deep dualism — visual and conceptual.
The softness of a glossy silk ribbon intertwines with metallic barbed wire, creating a powerful graphic tension.
It’s more than aesthetics — it’s a narrative: a pattern that expresses the complexity of true love, made of light and wounds, strength and vulnerability.

Gjoen structures the design as a vertical rhythmic module, where repetition becomes language.
Each element carries meaning: the barbed wire is not only confinement, the ribbon not only lightness.
The design becomes a symbol of resilience, opposition, and coexisting beauty.

In this edition, True Love isn’t Hearts and Flowers unfolds on a deep midnight blue background, elegant and silent.
The contrast with the vibrant satin yellow ribbon creates a visually striking surface, while the dark green barbed wire, drawn with precision, adds a symbolic layer evoking nature, boundaries, and thresholds.

The blue–green–yellow palette gives this version a bold yet refined identity, perfect for interiors that seek to tell more than what meets the eye.

The pattern is composed of an infinitely repeatable vertical module, designed to create a rhythmic and symbolic surface.
