On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this piece as a sublime example of the Swedish Rya tradition, utilizing a fractured vertical composition within a lush, forest-inspired palette. This hand-knotted shag rug delivers exceptional textural depth and a rhythmic, organic energy.

The pattern is a masterful study in abstraction, featuring a series of vertical, dappled bands that suggest sunlight filtering through a canopy or moss-covered stone. The color story is a sophisticated blend of olive green, moss, and chartreuse, punctuated by luminous columns of cream and soft ivory.

This interaction of organic, "blotted" forms and structured verticality creates a visual depth, with the pile's natural shading making the verdant tones appear mottled and dimensional.

This rug is a highly dimensional work of textile art, perfectly suited for an interior needing authentic vintage texture and a serene, grounded aesthetic.
