About the Item

Elsa Gullberg - Polychrome Diamond Shaped Pattern Rug, Sweden 1940's - 243x183cm This delicate polychromatic diamond shaped patterned rug is attributed to Elsa Gullberg. Elsa Gullberg (14 March 1886 – 1 March 1984) was a Swedish interior architect and textile designer. She was a pioneer of modern textile design in Sweden and played an instrumental role in transforming the textile industry. She was one of the renowned Swedish textile designers including Erik Wettergren, Carl Bergsten and Gregor Paulsson, who worked to modernize textile industries in Sweden. Ofter referred to as Sweden’s First Interior Decorator, as a designer and textile entrepreneur, Gullberg had the foresight to recognize that modern society would want not just single hand-woven rugs or tapestries to be used in elegant homes, but that entire public rooms would need to be furnished. This was the niche her firm filled. The year after she started her firm, she furnished the Swedish liner the MS Kungsholm. For almost 30 years, her firm provided carpets, designed with interesting textural patterns, to theaters, offices, university settings and city halls, as well as drapery and upholstery material. She seems to have established a reputation for reliability, an awareness of current style, and quiet elegance.
