Anne Elise Jakhelln (12 September 1909 – 19 August 2002) was a Norwegian textile artist. She is remembered above all for her hand-woven curtains and upholstery. Together with Gusse Bade, in 1935 she established a weaving studio in Oslo which later moved to larger premises in nearby Lysaker. From the mid-1940s, she collaborated with Norway's leading furniture manufacturers and interior designers, producing fabrics for homes, hotels and ocean liners. By the mid-1960s, with ten employees and some 500 patterns, her studio was producing curtains on semi-automatic looms. Jakelln received the Jacob Prize, a Norwegian cultural award, in 1958.[1] She retired in 1985. Residing at Lysaker, she died in 2002.[2][3][4]
