Summary
This article features seven editorial picks of original merchandise from the exhibition "Swedish Textiles: Nordic Design Rooted in Life and Nature," currently on view at Setagaya Art Museum from September 19 to November 15. The exhibition explores Swedish print textile design that flourished in the mid-20th century through three perspectives: motifs, designers, and connections to daily life. Centered on vintage textile collections owned by Swedish-based private collector Sara Axestadius, the exhibition presents approximately 200 rare works and related materials with cooperation from museums and archives across Sweden. Among the featured goods is a versatile bandana-handkerchief priced at ¥2,750 (tax included), available in five patterns inspired by works such as Anna-Lena Emde's "Fogel Blå (Blue Bird)" and Susanne Grundell's "Duvvlefletan (Two Braided Patterns)," offering both functional versatility and stylish variety.
