Göta Trägårdh (1904-1984) is considered one of the earlyleading persons in Swedish fashion and textile design. Together with Anders Beckman, she started the Beckman School of Design in 1939 and worked there as a teacher in subjects such as pattern composition and fashion drawing. At the same time, she worked as a designer, fashion illustrator, stylist and costume designer. In 1944 she started working as a consultant, designer and colorist for Gefle Ångväveri and then continued as artistic director at Stobo AB between the years 1954-64. The last five years of her life she made some fantastic designs as a freelance designer at Borås Wäfveri.
Borås Cotton develops and markets interior textiles adapted for home public environments. “Art on fabric” describes our way of working and represents the connection between Borås Cotton’s tradition of keeping the freedom of the skilled designer at the center and high quality textiles.
