Printmaking
Viola Gråsten was a Swedish textile and graphic designer whose work bridged functionalist principles and decorative sensibility in the postwar period. Active from the 1940s onward, she developed a distinctive vocabulary of geometric and organic forms applied to printed textiles, wallpapers, and surface design. Her practice was rooted in the Swedish modern movement's commitment to accessible, well-designed objects for everyday use.
