Viola Grasten NK Textile Studio Pythagoras Geometric Plywood Tray Sven Markelius
About the Item
This pattern is mostly attributed to the most famous NK Textile Studio lead designer Architect Sven Markelius and his name is often on the edge of the textile. However, another name has been attributed to this design, Viola Hildegard Grasten who worked in the NK Studio at the time.
Grasten studied for four years at the Central School of Crafts in Helsinki until 1936, after which she worked as a designer at the Friends of Finnish Handicraft. In 1944, because of wartime yarn shortages in Finland, she moved to Sweden and designed shaggy rugs for Textiles & Interiors in Stockholm. A year later she took a post at the NK Textile Studio, where she began to design patterns for textiles and made a reputation for her colorful geometric designs. In 1956 she became artistic director of fashion textiles at Molnlycke Weavers, where she stayed until her retirement in 1973. Grasten was awarded the Prince Eugen Medal for design in 1971.
