Skansen, a cotton chenille stripe fabric, is inspired by the richly textured handwoven rag rugs found in traditional Swedish farmhouses. Skansen is named after the park in Stockholm where treasured examples of 18th and 19th century country buildings have been moved and reassembled. The colors reflect the gold and red paint used on all barns and farmhouses in Scandinavia. The iridescent effect seen in Skansen is especially effective on any kind of seating.
