Bittan Valberg is an artist
who paints in textile yarns.
The works of the pretty
Swedish rug designer. trans
lated by Cabin Crafts into
area rugs, are abstract art,
pure and simple.
"I would like people to get
the same feeling from some
of my designs that they do
from a favorite painting"
she says.
"Art, life and nature can
be wrapped up in a rug. That
is why I sometimes put trees
in a rug. We can enjoy the
the play of wind through
leaves . within the home
in the wintertime as WE'LL"
Designer Collection
To prove her point, Miss
Valberg has designed a COL
lection Of area rugs, now on
display at Lord g. Taylor's

own themes. The designer Is
