Loja Saarinen and Eliel Saarinen. (Designers) Rug No. 2, November 1928 - February 1929. Loja: Born Louise Gesellius, 1879, Helsinki, Finland; operated Studio Loja Saarinen at Cranbrook, 1928–1942; Cranbrook Academy of Art, Head of Department of Weaving and Textile Design, 1929–1942; died 1968, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
Loja Saarinen’s work illustrates how hand weaving continued through modernizing design. She was a ’weaver’ who lived and worked in the center of power, but whose work as an artist has been marginalized in writing of history. Loja benefitted from her enterprise, Studio Loja Saarinen, a public role as textile artist and interior decorator.
