Marin Hemmingsson

Marin Hemmingsson was a weaver at AB Märta Måås-Fjetterström, working in the middle decades of the twentieth century.
The distinction matters for reading a mark: Hemmingsson wove pieces designed by others rather than designing them, so on a carpet bearing AB MMF together with MH the initials identify the hand at the loom, not the author of the design. Work woven there includes Barbro Nilsson's tapestry Blåsväder of 1967 and the wall hanging Röda Trolleriet of about 1964, and a pile carpet, Zorbus, that went to the Swedish diplomatic mission in Washington in 1966.
