On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this captivating rug as a stunning exemplar of the Starburst/Compass motif, reimagined through the soulful lens of mid-century Swedish artistry. Crafted with a signature hand-knotted, luxurious shag pile, this rug offers a highly textural and sculptural surface that begs to be touched.

The pattern features a rhythmic central medallion with a sharp, multi-pointed starburst, where colors melt into one another in a soft, "bleeding" geometry. The color story is beautifully energetic, built on a substantial field of Burnished Orange and Fiery Red that anchors the wide, shaggy border.

The central golden-orange panel is framed by a delicate geometric ring border, creating a sophisticated, high-contrast pulse across the pile. These tonal gradients lend the piece an organic depth reminiscent of a solar flare or a warm autumnal glow. This is a highly dimensional work of textile art, ready to bring bold, architectural texture and warmth to any Mid-Century Modern or Organic Minimalist setting.
