Bio:
Rya is a traditional Nordic weaving technique characterised by long wool knots tied onto a woven foundation. In Sweden, rya underwent a significant revival during the 20th century, when traditional techniques were combined with modern geometric patterns and strong colour compositions. During the 1960s and 70s, rya was used both as floor coverings and decorative wall textiles, becoming a distinctive element of Scandinavian textile art and interior design.
