Väva! Veve! Linens - MN, USA
Weaving studio and high-end handwoven linens
Both words, Väva and Veve, mean “weave” in Swedish and Norwegian. The memorable brand name conveys the sense of humor of the Minnesota artist who doesn’t take herself too seriously, but who is indeed a dynamic designer-entrepreneur. Her small company supports core values like durability and environmental sustainability, while her hand woven textiles are infused with timeless beauty. The designs and stunning color palette of her Cabin Series reflect a philosophy of life deeply rooted in the great American Wilderness and the rustic simplicity of a Scandinavian log cabin. Her elegant designs conjure up the Nordic aesthetics and feature complex weave structures reminiscent of early American woven textiles. Väva!Veve! was officially established in 2009 and the stylish linens were juried less than a year later into the American Craft Council Show in St Paul. It was a turning point that validated her new career as a professional hand-weaver. In her studios surrounded by nature, the artist continues the tradition of hand weaving in America, a craft renowned weaver and author Mary Meigs Atwater once described as a “true national popular art”. Marian’s primary intent is “to inspire joy and delight ”. Mission accomplished.
