CREATORS

* Astrid Sampe (Swedish, 1909–2002)  - designer
Astrid Sampe was a Swedish textile designer and head of the textile division at the Stockholm-based department store Nordiska Kompaniet from 1937 until 1971. Educated at the Konstfackskolen (School of Arts, Crafts, and Design) and the Royal College of Art in London, Sampe developed a network of international contacts early in her career. As head of the textile division of Nordiska Kompaniet, Sampe fostered a successful partnership between Swedish designers and the American furnishings company Knoll Associates. As a designer, Sampe was known for developing innovative textiles including a fiberglass-coated yarn that was purportedly fire-proof.
* Nordiska Kompaniet (Swedish, est. 1902)  - manufacturer
Josef Sachs established the department store Nordiska Kompaniet in 1902. The store’s first building opened in 1915 on Hamngaten in Stockholm and is still in operation today.
