More information
In 1928, the Swedish American Line vessel M/S Kungsholm was to be fitted out as a floating pavilion showcasing the superiority of the Swedish 1920s classicism. The architect Carl Bergsten gathered the leading designers of the day to furnish the ship, among them Märta Måås-Fjetterström along with others such as Carl Malmsten, Elsa Gullberg, Oscar Nilsson, and Simon Gate. Märta Måås-Fjetterström walked through the first-class lounge during her trip to New York in 1928. What could a rug convey on a ship? What was missing on a magnificent sea? Grass, meadows, and flowers from the gardens of childhood. By her next trip, there lay, in the first-class lounge, a large rug by Måås-Fjetterström named "The Meadows".
