an elegant and highly collectible swedish rölakan flatweave carpet designed by ingegerd silow, one of the most respected figures in mid-century swedish textile art. Created during the 1950s, the carpet reflects the post-war continuation of swedish modernism, characterized by clarity of form, balanced geometry, and refined material sensibility.

handwoven in pure wool, the composition is defined by a calm central field framed by a restrained geometric border. The subtle yet confident colour palette—soft yellow, natural wool tones, muted blue, grey, and dark accents—creates a harmonious and timeless textile expression, equally suited for modern interiors and serious scandinavian design collections.

signed “is,” confirming authorship by ingegerd silow.

the carpet has been professionally cleaned by a swedish textile specialist focusing on historic rölakan flatweave carpets and is presented in good vintage condition, with an even surface and well-preserved colours.

a refined example of swedish mid-century textile design, combining functional restraint with quiet decorative strength.
