The wall hanging Unicorn in the Forest combine textile designer Märta
Måås-Fjetterström’s interests in oriental rugs, folk textiles from Skåne and mythological motifs. She was an illustrator and drawing teacher but left teaching to design woven textiles for Kulturen in Lund and Malmö Hemslöjds-magasin. In 1919, she started her own studio and employed weavers. Her patterns gradually became more abstract compositions of lines and squares.
