This book – the most comprehensive book ever – covers hand-woven Danish rugs from the early twenties until the present time. It profiles some of the pioneers, such as Gerda Henning, Lis Ahlmann, and Paula Trock as well as the next generation of weavers, including Vibeke Klint, Jette Nevers, Ruth Malinowski, Kim Naver, Randi Studsgarth, Krestine Kjærholm and more. Depicts many beautiful rugs for the altar, walls, stairs and stairwells, accompanied by name and birth date of weaver/artist, materials used, size and year of the work. Many of the rugs are dominated by geometrical designs and run the full range of color. Their exquisite display in rooms and in churches is very inspiring.
