About the Item

Geometric pattern in predominantly green tones. Signed IS. Ingegerd Silow (1916 – 2005), Swedish designer and master weaver 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. As a high-power designer, Ingegerd Silow developed partnerships with many communal handcraft societies, including the Swedish Arts and Crafts Society, the Handicraft Friends, the Svensk Hemslöjd in Stockholm, the handworkers textile school, and the Stockholm City and the County Arts Association. Her industrial design experience gained in the cultural city of Borås earned her a position as a pattern designer for the Handicraft Association of Sweden and the Stockholm-based design firm Heyman & Olesen. As a commercial designer and freelancer, Ingegerd Silow created her own textile designs and produced collections of curtains and carpets for commercial firms. Her strong design experience also led to an extensive 15-year partnership with Eric Ewers Ltd., and Axeco, a firm that created accessible tapestries and carpets. Silow’s colorful carpet designs are still being reproduced today. The artist’s original carpets were also featured at the National Museum in Stockholm, Liljevalchs art gallery and internationally. Silow’s design portfolio includes formal repeating patterns, geometric motifs, fun florals, landscape scenes and whimsical folk-art designs. The legacy Silow created lives on in her uniquely Scandinavian carpets and textiles.
