This piece connotes Swedish sensibilities with a rhythmic, geometric folk pattern sitting comfortably in gorgeous symmetry, flourishing in a deep blue, brown and gray gradience.

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 forest green, sage, and muted olive. The design features a structured vertical layout with repeating rows of geometric square and "sprouting" floral motifs that draw from traditional "tapestry" logic, lending a modern sense of movement to a classic folk aesthetic. Connoisseurs will appreciate the New Zealand wool construction, which creates a fine, impressionistic striae reminiscent of the painterly depth found in mid-century textile art.

Unique to this design is the intricate geometric border featuring stepped "comb" motifs in a contrasting oat-beige, which provides a grounding frame to the lush, 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
