When is a rug no longer a utility, but an object? Can objects that have been created for a clear purpose - such as giving heat to cold floors - at the same time be just themselves, a work of art in its own grand power?With a strong emphasis on body and soul, color and shape, Åsa’s artistic vision and symbolic aesthetics inject a strong feeling of female power in every object she creates, and in every home, it moves in to.

“The Shell and the Mouth are two symbols I often return to, as a representation of the hole. In my artistic practice, I am very interested in understanding the hole and the capacity of the cavity.” - Åsa Jungelius

Looking at Constance Tenvik and the way she is portraying the people she meets – or these days – doesn’t meet - you immediately get a connection, just as you were there yourself. With Opera Goers, she paints a motif resembling colorful squiggles from afar, but it depicts rows of faces gazing in concentration.

The faces are part of an audience witnessing a Gesamtkunstwerk. With this collaborative collection, the function is at the core, the rug will by its design create warmth and softness. But it also has another dimension – inviting art and the appreciation of art – into your home.


“I work exclusively analogue and I work fast and intuitively, which suits my temperament best. Now in textile form, a contrast is created between the usual spontaneity and the slow handcraft of the rug which adds a new dimension. My art is largely inspired by ceramics, photography and fashion. I embrace the everyday objects and give them a new place that is up to the viewer to interpret. For me, each form is unique and has its own character, its own history.”

Bella Rune lives and works in Stockholm. She works with sculpture, including performative elements, and experiments with various materials and techniques. Her practice is based on an interest in craftsmanship, history, and contemporary culture, and her work often draws from the specific context in which it is created. A connection to classical textile traditions, such as weaving, is a recurring theme throughout her work.

Her strong story-telling speaks to both the established art world and viewers without any knowledge of her previous work, and in this collaborative project, The Balcony, she tells the story of a girl who asked herself the question “Is it high enough”?

“A seed that was planted and refused to change shape. I who always thought it grew into something else. It grew into something bigger, do not misunderstand me, but it did not become the beauty that I thought it would be. She who stood on the edge of the balcony, she who thought of jumping probably never thought that there would be so much life after that day.”
