Snug as a bug

Porslinsmattan by MMF AB.


Flossa by MMF AB.



Broadband by CKR. MMF AB


The unstoppable troika Cleasson Koivisto Rune http://www.claesson-koivisto-rune.se/ recently presented new rug designs for Märta Måås-Fjetterström AB, http://www.mmf.se/html_en/index2.htm. The founder of this institution, Märta herself, started her own textile studio in Båstad in 1919. “Her designs are based on native Swedish and Oriental textile traditions combined with a skilled eye for natural forms. Like the great Swedish botanist Linnaeus she studied flowers and leaves in detail, while the occasional horse or sheep also finds its way into her designs, giving a special rhythm to the patterns.”
Above you can see Broadband by Cleasson Koivisto Rune as well as two example of original designs byMärta Måås-Fjetterström.
Curiously, I am inclined to find that the designer Mats Theselius’ recent rug for A-Carpet http://www.a-carpet.se/ (below) is closer to the tradition of Märta Måås-Fjetterström than the more futuristic designs of CKR. What do you think?
