More information
On midsummers day 1918, Ludvig Nobel's life's work Skånegården was inaugurated. It was a hotel that became the stronghold of Swedish modernism, with artists such as Prince Eugen, Carl Eldh and Märta Måås-Fjetterström. During the inauguration, Måås-Fjetterström lived at Skånegården and it was in this context that Ludvig Nobel persuaded her to move to Båstad.
In 1919, Märta Måås-Fjetterström moved to Strandgården and came to live and work in Båstad until her death in 1941. In 1968, Skånegården was decommissioned as a hotel and today the complex is condominiums. The present carpet has been owned by Ludvig Nobel's family until now and was purchased directly by Märta Måås Fjetterström.
