Ingegerd Silow (1916-2005) was a renowned Swedish textile artist celebrated for her rollakan rugs, which utilize a traditional Swedish weaving technique to create flatwoven rugs and tapestries. Her designs are characterized by geometric patterns, stylized natural motifs, and harmonious color palettes. She carefully chose colors, often inspired by nature, including earth tones, soft pastels, and vibrant shades. Crafted from high-quality wool, these rugs are durable and feature intricate patterns achieved through a weft-faced weaving method that results in a smooth, reversible surface.

Silow's rollakan rugs are admired for preserving and modernizing traditional Swedish weaving techniques. Her work played a significant role in keeping the rollakan tradition alive and introducing it to a broader audience. These versatile rugs can be used as floor coverings, wall hangings, or decorative pieces, making them suitable for various interior settings. Ingegerd Silow's contributions have left a lasting legacy in Swedish textile art, and her rollakan rugs are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of Scandinavian design, representing fine examples of mid-20th-century craftsmanship and artistry.
