This piece honors the Carpet Design Awards winner “Marta Stripe” and reinvents it with a contemporary, pile-rug take on an iconic mid-century modern Swedish aesthetic. It connotes sophisticated Nordic sensibilities with a rhythmic, vertical folk pattern flourishing in a rich palette of gold, ochre, and warm tan.

On the Design:

This Scandinavian rug features a unique, structured verticality composed of repeating dash motifs that draw from the functional symmetry of mid-century folk art. The design is a new edition of our award-winning “Marta Stripe,” named in honor of one of the mothers of Scandinavian style, Märta Måås-Fjetterström, who inspired this collection.

Elongated columns are separated by delicate, sawtooth linear accents in deep navy and terracotta, providing a sharp, architectural rhythm to the warm golden ground.

Connoisseurs will admire the use of New Zealand wool, which creates a fine, luminous striae and subtle color variation, an effect that honors the painterly depth of historic Rya rugs. This piece is further distinguished by its intricate geometric borders, which feature a tiered block pattern that frames the vertical energy of the field.

This proprietary technique both innovates and honors mid-century weaving, offering a weighted, durable body that represents a renaissance for the Swedish Deco aesthetic with more comfortable, current techniques. See less
