Monika Lechner is a freelance illustrator and hand-drawn wallpaper designer based in the Netherlands, operating under the brand lemon_dessin. Her practice spans bespoke wallpaper design, surface pattern design for fashion (including a dedicated menswear collection), and art licensing. A collection of her wallpaper work has been licensed by Baubauwall as the "Heritage Salon" collection, available internationally.
Selected Instagram images and website documentation suggest a broad tonal range. Wallpaper work skews towards opulent heritage aesthetics - Grandmillennial, Castlecore, and Art Nouveau-influenced work in neutral, gold, and muted palettes. Fashion print work includes tropical botanical all-overs, 70s-inspired florals in pastel and warm tones, watercolour shells, and mixed-media geometric patterns. The menswear collection combines hand-painted artwork, paper collage, scanned materials, and geometric digital design for a distinctly textured surface quality.
Hand-drawn and hand-painted illustration, watercolour, paper collage, and scanned materials. Digital finishing for vectorisation, colour separation, and seamless repeat production. Menswear collection notes use of geometric digital design alongside hand-painted work. Vectorised files allow indefinite scaling and recolouring.
Wallpaper and interior design is the primary documented market. Baubauwall (Netherlands): licensed "Heritage Salon" collection - Grandmillennial/Castlecore/Art Nouveau-influenced, available eco-friendly and shipped worldwide.
