On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this charming rug as a delightful example of the Swedish Rya tradition, utilizing a simple, repeating motif that embodies the fun and accessible nature of Mid-Century Modern design.

This hand-knotted, luxurious shag piece delivers comforting texture and whimsical appeal.

The pattern is a pure study in Repeating Abstract Geometry, featuring an all-over array of stylized polka dots or dual-lozenge forms. The composition is built on a serene Natural Beige/Cream field, which allows the playful pattern to emerge in high contrast.

Each motif is composed of two interlocking circles in warm, classic hues: rich Maroon Red and deep Chocolate Brown. The design is neatly framed by a solid, thick border of the same deep brown, grounding the piece.

This rug is a highly dimensional work of textile art, perfectly suited for a space needing authentic vintage texture and a lighthearted, graphic focal point. It brings an unparalleled sense of playful sophistication and classic Mid-Century warmth to any Modernist, Transitional, or Cottage setting.
