Scandinavian Design Viola Gråsten

Textile designer Viola Gråsten (1910-1994) was born in Finland and came to Sweden in 1945. She began to make patterns for textiles which instantly became national and international successes. Her glowing range of colours became known as ”Gråsten-colours” and have become one of the trademark signatures of a Gråsten design.

Her designs were often bold and geometric, with a very personal style which often drew inspiration from nature. They are still extremely popular amongst collectors and ”design interested” today.

Bemz has selected ”Kaleido” to represent Viola Gråstens design style- a typical geometric ”block print” design with a loose, floral inspiration. ”Kaleido” is available in blue tones or a typical Viola Gråsten brown/purple combination.
