Literature: Tyra Lundgren: “Märta Måås-Fjetterström och väv-verkstaden i Båstad”, Stockholm 1968, mentioned p. 113.

Märta Måås-Fjetterström was a Swedish textile designer.

She studied at the School of Decorative Arts and Design in Stockholm. In 1905–1911 she was the principal of Malmöhus läns hemslöjdsförening (society of home crafts). She was later invited by another pioneer in Swedish textile design Lilli Zickerman to teach at the weaving school in Vittsjö, which she accepted.

She began working with weaving designs at an early age, some of her first being figurative and often inspired by old sagas. In 1919, she opened her own textile workshop in Båstad, where she lived until her death in 1941. During her career, the carpets went from figurative to what seems like more abstract patterns. The surrounding nature was an inexhaustible source of inspiration for her patterns. The plants, flowers and colours around Hallandsåsen were conventionalized into the beautiful carpet patterns that were handmade in the workshop in Båstad, which still exists to this day.

Märta Måås-Fjetterström's designs are the epitome of sublime Swedish textile craft. Her works are found in some of the most well-reputed collections and museums in the world. Louvre in Paris, The National Museum of arts in Stockholm and Röhsska Museum of Arts and Crafts in Gothenburg to mention a few.
