About the Item

Ingegerd Silow (1916-2005) was one of the most prolific and influential Swedish carpet designers of the midcentury. During her long career she designed an extraordinary number of carpets and rugs, mostly in the flatweave rölakan style. She was part of a second generation of twentieth century Swedish textile designers. As with her other Swedish design-world contemporaries, she would have been made acutely aware of her predecessors while she trained at the Konstfack, Stockholm’s famous art and craft school. Her training in folk craft is evident in her carpets, which are of the highest quality in terms of their impeccable materials and weaving techniques. Furthermore, her works radiate the warm minimalism of classic Swedish design. This graceful carpet, with its gorgeous yellow colors set with green, orange and pink accents, is delicate and shows the full range of her genius. In this example, Silow’s brilliance as a colorist is evident; the mixing of harmonious tones is a masterpiece of subtle sophistication. Signed IS in one corner, the initials of Silow. Ingegerd Silow’s carpets are timeless, masterpieces of the midcentury. Her woven compositions have the ability to connect an interior space to nature and the organic world. It is no wonder that her works have been collected and appear in Museum collections around the world.
