Swedish-born weaver Märta Måås-Fjetterström (1873-1941) started her own textile workshop at Båstad in 1919. Working within the ancient tradition of tapestry weaving, Måås-Fjetterström created small-scale and large-scale panels, curtains, carpets, and wall hangings. Her earliest works were influenced by the Art Nouveau style; through her studies of local folk art traditions and of oriental carpet design, she developed her own distinct weaving style.
