Ingegerd Råman – a Swedish design icon
Ingegerd Råman, born in 1943, has long been one of Sweden’s most respected designers. Her career began with ceramics and glass, and her cautious style and dedication to craftsmanship have been recognised with several awards, including the Prince Eugen Medal. Throughout her career, Råman has also worked on architectural projects, including collaborations with architect Gert Wingårdh on projects such as the Swedish Embassy in Washington and the Aula Medica at the Karolinska Institute in Solna, making her a central figure in Swedish design. Together with VERK, she has now created a collection of furniture textiles in all-Swedish wool, where natural colour tones and thoughtful weaving techniques provide a sustainable and genuine expression. With her flair, Råman has shaped the aesthetics and functionality of the textiles, resulting in four textile variants inspired by the natural shifts of wool.
