Estrid Maria Ericson (née Erikson; 16 September 1894 – 1 December 1981) was a Swedish designer, entrepreneur and founder of the interior decorating company Svenskt Tenn.[1] Estrid Maria Erikson was born in Öregrund but grew up in Hjo by Lake Vättern in Sweden.

When Ericson had graduated by the age of 19, she moved to Stockholm to attend the art school today known as Konstfack.

[4] The focus of the company was creating modern pewter decorative objects that Ericson designed herself, made by Fougstedt and two other staff members.

These objects were displayed at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris 1925, as well as in other fairs in Sweden and Europe.

[2] Ten years later, in 1934, Ericson employed the Austrian functionalist designer Josef Frank to Svenskt Tenn.
