Signed Textile 2004 is a tribute to one of Swedens greatest textile
artists - Astrid Sampe. It was Astrid Sampe who originally started the
project in 1954 when she contacted twelve well known designers within
different art forms such as graphic art, architecture and advertising.
The project took two years to prepare. The goal was to create something
totally new available to the general public. The idea behind the project
was that people feel good when surrounded by beautiful things.
In the fifties Viola Gråsten, Astrid Sampe and Alvar Aalto were some of
the greatest designers revolutionizing the textile artform.Once again
some of the classic and beloved fabricsare back in production again .
