Bridging Tradition and Modernity

From silk to linen, these patterns grace a wide array of products, including fabrics, clothing, wall art, and stationery. Their versatility and charm have even earned them a place in prestigious stores like Hälsingland Museum and Delsbo Museum.
Björg's design legacy extends beyond her collection, with her work playing a prominent role in Sweden's oldest folklore festival, Delsbo Stämman. Festival bands, tickets, clothing, brochures – her patterns have breathed life into it all.
