The present lot is registered in the Märta Måås-Fjetterström Archives as #32178 and #32320. Phillips would like to thank Angelica Persson and Martin Chard from Märta Måås-Fjetterström AB for their assistance cataloguing the present lot.
The 1970s was a period of change for Märta Måås-Fjetterström AB. Kaisa Melanton took over as artistic director from Barbro Nilsson, who had been in charge since 1942. Marianne Richter, who first came to the studio as an intern in 1937, continued on and was commissioned to create simplified designs that would appeal to a younger audience. To create something completely new, Richter turned to the very traditional. Korsvirke is inspired by the half-timbered houses (korsvirkeshus in Swedish) common in the southern parts of Sweden. This ancient building technique uses an exposed load-bearing timber frame and light infill, creating graphic facades. Marianne Richter has reversed the colors in these two rugs, and also went on to create versions in bright red, blue and green.
