Ingrid Dessau (née Peterson; 3 March 1923 in Svalöv[2] – 15 June 2000[3]) was a Swedish textile artist.
She studied at Tekniska skolan in Stockholm[5] and began her career at Kristianstads läns Hemslöjd, where her work involved documenting the county's textiles through watercolor paintings.
In 1991, she was commissioned by Klässbols linneväveri to design the tablecloth and napkins for the Nobel Dinner, which celebrated its 90th anniversary that year.
[7] In 2008, a retrospective exhibition was arranged as a collaboration between the Design Archive and the Textile Museum of Borås called Till det enkla – Ingrid Dessau textildesigner.
[8] The design archive holds an extensive collection of both textiles and sketches from Ingrid Dessau's professional life.
