On the Design:

This new outdoor rug reinvents vintage Scandinavian Kilim in ways that both honor the Swedish minimalist aesthetic and modernize its construction. Our intricate blend of yarns, for example, lends a subtle striae with more of a sense of movement and depth—a subtle nod to Röllakan techniques in a modern fashion.

The choice of colors, too, explores their retro feel in a more refreshed quality; this particular Kilim enjoys grey, beige, and off-white colorways with a cool, almost shabby-chic sense of beauty to it. It’s a smart balance of new and chic that brings mid-century geometric patterns a fabulous new look and feel.

Our flatweave further enjoys a thick, more durable body than any flatweave in high-end rugs. It’s a hallmark of our Kilim design, and another contemporary contribution to the Scandinavian aesthetic that sits comfortably anywhere. This, alongside several elements detailed here, represent R&K Principal Jahanshah Nazmiyal’s hope to honor this mid-century modern aesthetic through more comfortable, current techniques. See less
