On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this piece as a sublime evolution of the Swedish Rya tradition, utilizing a repeating geometric structure to evoke a serene natural landscape. This hand-knotted shag rug offers exceptional textural depth, with a dense pile that gives its sharp, repeating motifs a soft, atmospheric quality.

The pattern is a masterful study in Geometry, featuring a structured vertical repeat of stylized coniferous forms. Rows of vibrant teal and soft mint-green triangles create a serrated "mountain" or "forest" backdrop, punctuated by dark chocolate-brown and golden-yellow "tree" motifs. The interaction of these repeating totemic shapes creates a sophisticated visual rhythm, while the speckled ivory field provides a luminous, snow-like contrast that makes the verdant tones pop.

This rug is a highly dimensional work of textile art, perfectly suited for an interior needing authentic vintage texture and a clean, graphic connection to nature.
