Rio Shells

A little shell-collecting joy, all over your walls. Rio scatters hand-drawn scallop shells and tiny dots across a calm teal ground—perfectly imperfect, with the charming variations you get from an artist’s pen. Playful for kids’ rooms and beachy spaces, yet refined enough for a hallway or powder room. Designed by Sara Bergqvist for Sandberg’s beloved Familj II collection.

Why you’ll love it

Styling notes
