Marita Mörck was born in 1915 into a Finnish-Swedish family in Helsinki. After her mother remarried a German man, she eventually moved to Berlin. In Germany, she studied furniture design and interior architecture, and at the academy she met Karl Schultz, whom she later married.

Due to failing health, Marita came into contact with the anthroposophical movement in Germany at an early age, which she also introduced to Karl. Together with Karl, she moved back to Helsinki in 1950, where she worked for the Stockman department store. After a stay in Spain, the couple moved to Tungelsta and Sweden. Here, Marita supported the family through her work as an interior and furniture designer at NK in Stockholm.

Marita passed away in 2009, but her interior design work and many personal belongings are preserved in the foundation’s archives in Gnesta.
