On the Design:

This runner enjoys a profoundly minimalist geometric pattern set against a comfortable, neutral field, subtly accented with repeating horizontal rows of square and dash motifs. This design draws inspiration from the Swedish minimalist movement and its works from 1919 Bastad well into the mid-century, adapted in such a beautifully minimalist fashion that, uniquely, remains as contemporary in its beauty today as it was in the days of Märta Måås-Fjetterström and the icons of her period.

Keen eyes will admire the use of purely natural yarns interwoven for a look of striae and subtle color variation, lending the surface an organic, luminous depth without the use of dyes. This proprietary technique of ours both innovates and honors mid-century weaving techniques inherent to Scandinavian style, ensuring the design’s purity is matched by its quality.

This modern flatweave further enjoys our reputed, heavier body with buckle resistance and greater durability against foot traffic. A comfortable, sophisticated contribution to the Swedish Deco aesthetic, this piece achieves timeless functionality and grace. See less
