DescriptionDescription: The striped textile pattern Strax, printed on cream fabric, had a sister pattern called Strix. The colour scheme was the same, but the width of stripes reversed: narrow cream ones on Strix, wide cream ones on Strax. The original pattern was hand drawn by Inez Svensson. She had been head of the design studio at Borås Wäfveri 1957-1967, and in 1970 founded 10-gruppen with nine other textile designers. She was vice-chancellor of Konstfack 1990-1996.
