Anne-Marie Boberg

Anne-Marie Boberg was a Swedish textile artist whose work embodies the essence of Scandinavian modern design. Active throughout the mid-20th century, she became known for her refined röllakan flatweave rugs, which combine traditional Swedish weaving techniques with a contemporary graphic sensibility. Boberg’s textiles often feature soft, harmonious colour palettes paired with classical Scandinavian motifs, geometric compositions and understated modern elegance.

During her collaboration with Axeco Svenska, one of Sweden’s leading textile producers, she created a wide range of handwoven röllakan that exemplify the careful craftsmanship and balanced design characteristic of Swedish weaving traditions. Her work reflects both a respect for historical textile practices and a progressive, modern approach to pattern and composition.

Beyond her woven pieces, Boberg contributed to the revival of fibre arts through her published work on macramé, recognising its artistic and cultural potential at a moment when the technique was returning to international prominence.

Today, Anne-Marie Boberg’s textiles are admired by designers, collectors and scholars for their craftsmanship, clarity and distinctly Scandinavian identity.
