On the Design:

This modern Scandinavian flatweave rug, inspired by the Röllakan and Rya rugs of the Swedish Deco movement, showcases a sophisticated palette of purple, violet, and midnight blue. The design features a structured horizontal layout with repeating rows of geometric square and dash motifs that draw from traditional "tapestry" logic, lending a modern sense of movement to a classic folk aesthetic.


Admirers of the craft will particularly appreciate the New Zealand wool construction, which creates a fine, impressionistic striae reminiscent of the painterly depth found in mid-century textile art. Further unique to this design is the intricate geometric border in a vibrant rust-orange, which provides a grounding contrast to the moody, cool tones of the central field. This piece features our reputed heavier body for buckle resistance, ensuring its sophisticated Swedish Deco grace is matched by enduring, high-traffic durability. See less
