LAGOM DESIGN

Known for her bold shapes, balanced palettes and gentle warmth, Jane Foster creates illustrations that bring a quiet optimism to everyday life. Drawing inspiration from mid-century design, children’s books and familiar objects, her work feels both timeless and softly contemporary — graphic yet gentle, playful yet considered.

In our latest journal Q&A, Jane reflects on the pleasure of simplicity, the discipline of editing back, and the thoughtful use of colour to create work that uplifts without overwhelming. She shares insights into her creative process, her love of everyday details, and her belief that good design should be useful, balanced, and made to be lived with.

A thoughtful conversation that feels closely aligned with Lagom’s own design philosophy — creating carefully considered objects that bring small moments of joy to daily life.

We’ve been thoughtfully creating memories on paper since 2007 — quietly crafted, made to be kept, and shared in moments that matter.

Wrapping a gift isn’t just decoration.

It’s the pause before the moment — a small sense of anticipation.
A sign that something has been chosen, considered, and made ready.

Because the wrapping is the first message: this is for you.

Sustainability shapes how we live, make, and choose.

For us, it’s always been there — our own responsibly sourced paper, minimal waste, plastic-free packaging. Quiet decisions that add up.

But it’s also about what happens after.
Paper made to be kept. Revisited. Lived with.

The same thinking runs through HOLD — a space for craftsmanship, longevity, and considered design.

Not perfection. Just balance.
Choosing better, where we can.

Just enough. Just right.

One from the archives. These gift wraps were designed by the very lovely Michael A. Hill and were among the first wraps we ever produced, back when our Creative Director was living in Paris. Kelly still remembers meeting Michael for a coffee near the iconic Colette — a special place, now sadly closed. We still sell the London map wrap today, which says everything, really: good design is timeless.

Greeting cards are, quietly, becoming a modern luxury.

Not through extravagance, but through intent. In an age of instant messages and endless notifications, the simple act of choosing a card, writing it by hand and sending it on its way feels considered — even rare.

There’s a tactility to it. Good paper, thoughtful print, a line that’s been chosen rather than dashed off. It arrives with presence and lingers long after most messages have disappeared.

Luxury today leans less on excess and more on meaning. A greeting card fits neatly into that shift: small, deliberate, and enduring.

A modest object, perhaps — but one that says, with quiet clarity, you were worth the time.

Nothing beats birthdays.
A small moment to pause, celebrate, and mark another year — simply, beautifully.
