Weaver Barbro Nilsson was a world-class artist in her own right long before she became the manager of the Marta Maas-Fjetterstrom studio in 1942. When she took over the reins of the studio, her designs transformed the colors and shapes that inspired her into beautiful items for the home. After thirty years of service, she was recognized as the top Swedish textile artist.
