Ingegerd Silow (1916-2005) was an influential figure in midcentury Swedish carpet design, particularly renowned for her prolific output in the flat weave rollakan style.

Trained at Stockholm's esteemed art and craft school, Konstfack, Silow's work reflects a deep immersion in Sweden's rich textile heritage, characterized by impeccable weaving techniques and the highest quality materials. Her rugs, embodying the warm minimalism of classic Swedish design, have left an indelible mark on the midcentury design landscape. Beyond carpets, Silow demonstrated her versatility as a pattern designer for Svensk Hemslojd, with her designs adorning a diverse range of furnishings. Collaborations with prominent rug companies like Axeco AB further extended the reach of her designs, making them a ubiquitous presence in post-war Swedish homes. Silow's keen eye for color and innovative approach to traditional weaving elements set her apart, with each rug bearing her distinctive textile signature reflecting her commitment to elevating design through thoughtful use of color and blending tradition with contemporary flair.

Silow ensures that the border and intricate geometric pattern command attention, serving as the focal points of the rug's design. The harmonious amalgamation of colors further enhances the visual appeal, creating a versatile piece that effortlessly complements a variety of interior styles. In a subtle yet significant detail, the pattern bears the hallmark initials "IS," woven into the corner, signifying Silow's authorship and attention to detail.
