Bio:
The rölakan technique is a traditional Swedish flat weave method dating back to the 18th century, characterised by geometric motifs and a dense, durable texture. In the mid-20th century, modern textile designers reinterpreted the technique, blending folk traditions with the clean lines and colour harmony of Scandinavian modernism.
