Bio:
The rölakan technique is a traditional Swedish flat-weave method known for its geometric motifs and fine craftsmanship. During the 1950s and 60s, it was reinterpreted by modern designers who used bright, harmonious colour schemes and simplified patterns—embodying the ideals of Scandinavian modern design.
