Handwoven in a wool flatweave with undyed natural yarns as well, its design is inspired by Swedish minimalist designs.

On the Design:

This new flat weave reinvents vintage Scandinavian Kilim in ways that both honor the Swedish minimalist aesthetic and modernize its construction. Our use of undyed natural yarns, for example, lends a subtle striae with more of a sense of movement and depth—a subtle nod to Rollakan techniques in a modern fashion. The choice of colors, too, explores their retro feel in a more refreshing style. This particular rug enjoys shades of blue and gray, beige and silver accents in squared geometric patterns. It enjoys a smart application of geometry with well defined compartmentalisation—alternating impeccably for an almost positive-negative colourplay of pleasing movement in this scale.

Our flatweave’s more durable, weighted body is also a hallmark of the collection, made for high-traffic and heavy-furniture spaces. This, alongside several elements detailed here, represent R&K Principal Jahanshah Nazmiyal’s hope to honor this mid-century modern aesthetic. His Scandinavian Collection is a contribution to that style, and a renaissance for its designs with more comfortable, current techniques. See less
