Ann-Mari Forsberg (1916-1992), also known as Ann-Mari Lindbom, was a luminary in Swedish textile design, celebrated for her bold and innovative patterns that have become synonymous with the golden era of 20th-century Scandinavian design. Forsberg's work at the esteemed Märta Måås-Fjetterström studio allowed her to hone her distinctive style, characterized by vibrant colors and dynamic, often nature-inspired motifs. Her contributions, particularly in the realm of rugs and tapestries, not only pushed the boundaries of textile art but also played a pivotal role in establishing Sweden's reputation for excellence in design. Forsberg's legacy is marked by her ability to merge traditional craftsmanship with a modern aesthetic vision.
