Märta Måås-Fjetterström designed some of the most important rugs of the 20th Century. The nature of the slopes of Hallandsåsen where she resided was a never-ending source of inspiration and with great artistic skill natural elements were stylized to get their chosen place in the rich but still fully controlled splendor that came to make up her carpets. Her geometric patterns are highly sought-after and show the influence of antique Persian patterns. Her designs are found in the world's leading museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The V&A, and National Museum in Stockholm. Often referred to as the "mother of carpets" her studio's work remains highly valued in the art markets today.
