Collection: Kiruna Collection

In her new collection for Designer Rugs, interior designer Anna-Carin was inspired by nature and the rich heritage of the Sami, the Indigenous people of northern Scandinavia.

The collection is inspired by a childhood journey to Kiruna, Sweden's northernmost city. The memories from that trip, captured in cherished souvenirs she and her siblings collected, form the foundation of these rug designs. This collection is a heartfelt tribute to the Sami people, reflecting the artistry and cultural significance of their traditional clothing, tools, and crafts.

The collection is inspired by gifts that were given to them by their parents during their family trip to Kiruna. These gifts were made by the Sami people, the Indigenous culture of Sweden and reflect a connection to the land. “This collection is my small attempt to respect, honour and bring some awareness to the existence of these semi-nomadic peoples," says Anna-Carin.
