On the Design:

This modern interpretation of the Swedish rug enjoys a warm, refined palette of warm gold, soft beige, and sandy tan. The design features a minimalist geometric pattern of alternating checkered blocks, drawing inspiration from the Swedish minimalist movement from 1919 Båstad through the mid-century—as contemporary today as the iconic works of Märta Måås-Fjetterström.

Keen eyes for detail will further appreciate the subtle variety of colors in the otherwise neutral palette—particularly the playful sparks of red and green yarns interwoven throughout the field. Admirers of the craft may recognize this use of yarns as an homage to a Swedish weaving tradition at the core of the Scandinavian movement, reimagined in this contemporary fashion that nods to the soul of the overall style in a way both old and new.
