I also bought a ton of HALI magazines, I really love their articles. They are full of information about different topics such as ancient central asian ikats, safavid carpets, cochineal dyeing and tribal rugs.

"Ung8 är ett oväntat möte. Ung8 visar det senaste av ung, svensk formgivning. Gränserna har
suddats ut och utställningens 22 bidrag berör konst, design, mode, arkitektur och konsthantverk.
ung8 kan man inte bestämma över eller sätta någon etikett på – ung8 lever sitt eget liv!
Ung8 är en jurybedömd vandringsutställning för unga formgivare verksamma i Sverige eller utomlands.
Kravet är att man är max 31 år eller studerar. ung8 har inga kategorier utan vill skapa en arena för unga formgivare där man ska kunna testa sina gränser och idéer fritt, där inget ska stoppa eller bromsa det
kreativa flödet.
Projektet UNG startade 1998 och drivs för åttonde gången. Blickar man tillbaka i projektets historia har
många av våra idag etablerade formgivare en gång startat sin bana genom UNG.
Ung8 drivs av Form/Design Center, Svensk Form och Stockholm Furniture Fair.
Grafisk formgivare - Parasto Backman. Utställningsarkitekt - Jens Fager."

My carpet Utopia is featured in the article "London Design Week" in the winter issue 2011/2012 of Cover Magazine.
Cover magazine, a publication from HALI, is the leading carpet magazine covering the trends in modern fine hand-knotted carpets and artist textiles. "With a focus on innovation and market trends in the industry, the magazine celebrates weaving and hand-knotting."
The new issue of NOVUM World of Graphic Design is out in stores now. My carpets are featured in the theme of the month Arts&Crafts with the article Hand-knotted visions of our future.
"Many hand-knotted carpets rely on traditional patterns, and these in turn are claimed in many cases to have entire narratives associated with them. No need, however, to be a connoisseur of Persian or Asian ornamental design in order to read carpets designed by Maria Sandberg - although her themes are at least equally sophisticated."
