10-gruppen
Ten Swedish Designers was founded in 1970, when a group of ten young textile artists and designers joined together. They had a previous collective experience of having their designs rejected by the Swedish textile industry, with motivations asserting that their designed patterns were “unsaleable, too advanced and non-commercial”.
Today the company is owned and run by 3 of the original members, Birgitta Hahn, Tom Hedqvist and Ingela Håkansson.
