DescriptionDescription: Ingegerd Torshamn’s rug is a kindred spirit to the pared-down modern architecture and design of the 1920s. She sympathised with innovative design ideas coming out of Paris and Berlin. A purchase of steel tube chairs from Bauhaus inspired her first rug. Torhamn made rugs by hand, in the traditional manner, but no Swedish textile artist had yet made rugs of such radical design. The rug is matter-of-factly signed with the artist’s initials.
