Karin Bergoeoe Larsson (1859-1928) was a mother of eight and wife
to Sweden's beloved painter, Carl Larsson. She was herself a
well-regarded artist but gave it up when she married, at the
request of her husband. Replacing paintbrushes and canvas with
needles and cloth, she turned a somewhat ugly cottage-Lilla Hyttnas
in the tiny village of Sundborn, Sweden-into a designer showcase.
Inspired by the Swedish countryside, she filled the home with
handcrafted wall hangings, bed coverings, tablecloths and pillow
covers, while she greatly influencing her husband's work by
encouraging him to move away from dark oils to more illuminating
and light-filled watercolors. The National Museum of Women in the
Arts in Washington, D.C., considers Karin "the first designer of
what would become known as Swedish Modern." Her influence continues
to inform the concepts of retail giant IKEA.
