A quietly arresting composition by Swedish textile designer Erik Lundberg, this mid-century flatweave rug blends Scandinavian restraint with folkloric charm. Woven in wool with a dense and tactile handle, the design appears almost pixelated—blocks of rose, ochre, midnight blue, and sky grey gather in a rhythmic, almost musical pattern against a cool indigo ground.

The overall effect is painterly and modern, yet grounded in a centuries-old weaving tradition. It’s a piece that brings warmth without overwhelming, character without noise—a study in balance. with hand-knotted fringes and beautiful signs of age, this rug would sit just as comfortably in a contemporary setting as in a more rustic or mid-century interior.

A quietly luminous piece—like a textile echo of a spring thaw or the fading light on a Nordic evening. See less
