The Wildlife collection is designed to spark curiosity and the kids' sense of wonder. Inspired by Norwegian Fauna it portrays the shy lynx, the small blue tit and the humble frog in their natural habitats. The collection presents a balance between playfulness and elegance with its complex motives and a rich color palette.

The shy lynx hides under a branch. Is she hunting in the dusk? Ready to attack? The lynx is the largest and only wild cat in the Nordics. It is very shy and rarely seen. The warm palette represents the glow from autumn leaves in the Nordic sunset and ranges from red to orange, plum, gold and beige.
The small blue bird is hiding among the apple flowers. Maybe our bird is ready for today’s first cheerful chirping? The blue tit is one of our smallest birds and stand out with its bright yellow and blue feathers. The cool blue shade on the flowers implies that this might be early dawn. A soft blue palette is highlighted by bright tones of yellow, orange and muted blue-green. Together they create a versatile color palette.
The humble frog rests partly hidden in the leaves. Could this be the frog who laid the eggs we find under the water surface? Each spring a single frog may lay up to 4000 small eggs in small freshwater ponds or quiet streams. The many green shades in the mat harmonize and creates a vivid but also calm palette.
Their inquisitive and colourful approach to design made Vera & Kyte the obvious choice when Heymat came up with the idea of developing a children’s collection.
