Designers and collectors alike will be captivated by this Scandinavian Rya rug, a high-pile, hand-knotted wool masterpiece from Rug & Kilim’s collection.

The high-pile texture enhances both the tactile experience and the visual richness, making the design come alive underfoot. Balancing abstraction with clarity, this rug exemplifies the expressive freedom of mid-century Scandinavian weaving while remaining a refined and timeless decorative statement.
