On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this exceptional rug as a pure expression of Mid-Century Modern graphic design, crafted in the sumptuous texture of the Swedish Rya tradition. This piece perfectly captures the clean, abstract ethos of the 1960s.


The pattern is a masterful study in Abstract Geometry, built upon a clean, insulating field of neutral ivory shag. The composition features a striking grid of segmented blocks, reminiscent of deconstructed masonry or a minimalist mosaic.

The sophisticated palette utilizes the era's signature pairing of pale Chartreuse/Lime Green and Dusty Sage, highlighted by bold vertical and horizontal strokes of contrasting Charcoal Gray.

More than just a rug, this is a dimensional piece of textile architecture. The high-pile wool elevates the simple geometry into a rich, tactile surface, ready to anchor any Modernist, Minimalist, or Scandinavian-inspired space with authentic vintage charm and intellectual design.
