• The artist:
Internationally known, Swedish designer and master weaver Ingegerd Silow (1916 – 2005), was deeply involved with social handcraft societies and commercial design firms in the mid-20th century during the golden-age of Scandinavian design. Silow was educated at the Konstfack or College of Art and Design in Stockholm and also received training at Copenhagen’s famed Kunsthandtweerksskolen handwork school. Silow developed her own eclectic style through studies in Denmark, the United States and Mexico. Silow produced a wide variety of original designs that included repeating patterns, geometric motifs, fun florals, landscape scenes and fanciful folk art designs. Many of her original designs were displayed at the National Museum and the Liljevalchs Konsthall (art gallery) in Stockholm. She died in 2005, but her legacy lives on in her unique Scandinavian carpets and textiles.
