THE ARCHIVE 

From the start in 1970 up until today’s date, Ten Swedish Designers have collected all material resulting from more than thirty years of textile design and production. In year 2000 all this material was organized into an archive. Today the archive contains 57 collections and more than 700 printed patterns, as well as wallpapers, sketches, images, press clippings and various products.
Information about the collections, designs and products has been organized and filed in a database. Each item has been photographed and scanned and is thus easily accessible in digital form.
The aim of the archive is to preserve and present the unique collection, a part of the Swedish cultural heritage, the result of more than 30 years work of Ten Swedish Designers.
