About the master weaver: The Mid-Century Swedish paradigm would not exist without the contributions of Marta Maas-Fjetterstrom. Born in June of 1873, she went on to open her workshop in 1919 and produced a prolific collection of Swedish rugs until her passing in 1941. Her rugs were known for featuring bright pastel geometric patterns and stylized representations of the natural world. Mid-Century designers, collectors, and consumers all-over the world covet her work dearly, as evidenced by the scores of Swedish designers that followed in Marta’s footsteps.
