I was so ecstatic to recently discover the very talented Swedish rug designer Ingrid Kulper, who runs her own company, Mattahari. Her designs are such a beautiful balance of modern and feminine. I absolutely love her color palette of blush pink paired with white, grey, and dusty shades of mauve and lilac. Her designs are so fresh and bold, but with a delicate touch that is so appealing!
Ingrid allowed me the honor to interview her and dig deeper into her inspirations and background. I think you'll find them just as fascinating and delightful as I have!
It just happened when I came in contact with sacred geometry years ago during a trip to Bali and I just knew that I wanted to incorporate all the forms in rugs, and so the first rug came into being.
How would you describe your unique style?
For me, it is so much fun to work with this kind of rugs and I feel strongly positively influenced by them, which gives me a sense of peace of mind that I can contribute to others well being this way, as well, through the rugs.
What designers or artists, past or present, do you most admire?
The artist I admire very much is Leonardo Da Vinci
Is there something you can share about your childhood, perhaps a memory or hobby, that is reflected in your career today?
I can remember that i liked to draw mandala-like figures a lot as a child
What are some of your interests outside of the design world?
I love to be in nature, gardening and being close to water
What human characteristic or virtue do you most admire in others?
Being present and focused is something I admire in others
I love sailing a lot and my favorite place is a small island in Sweden, called Gotland.
Lastly, where can interested buyers purchase your rugs?
The rugs can be purchased directly through me
