Born in Stockholm, Clara von Zweigbergk trained in graphic design and illustration at the Beckmans School of Design in Stockholm and at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, USA. Clara has developed her professional career as a graphic designer in design and advertising studios in cities such as Stockholm, Los Angeles and Milan. Together with two partners, she founded Rivieran Design Studio, a multidisciplinary agency through which she had the opportunity to participate in various successful projects in areas such as fashion, illustration, architecture, furniture, product design and graphic design. After several years at Lissoni Associati in Milan, working for brands like Boffi, Armani and Alessi, she returned to Sweden to found her own studio. Clara von Zweigbergk's work is characterized by essentiality, harmony and a unique approach to color.
To transfer the crochet technique to a wool rug, GAN, together with the collection's designer, Clara von Zweigbergk, has developed a manufacturing method that uses thick, slightly felted wool strands that are woven with very thick hooks. In this way, the piece gains volume and extension in a proportion similar to a crochet work, managing to maintain the character of a mat but with much larger dimensions and suitable for functioning as a rug.
