Swedish Pile Rug by Marta Maas Fjetterstrom (Hasthagen Flossa)

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
The vintage Swedish pile rug made by the queen of Swedish textile design Märta Måås-Fjetterström (hasthagen flossa). The "Hästhagen"was designed for the Gothenburg exhibition in 1923 and is considered one of Märta Måås-Fjetterström's central works. The pattern was inspired with Viennese design with animals and trees in geometric form. The rug is rendered in pastel pink, greens, brown, dark blue and beige. By bringing traditional weaving techniques back to life, Måås-Fjetterström produced compelling work of exceptional quality and surprisingly modern look suiting up-to-date interior design trends.
