Design & Aesthetic
The rug features a mesmerizing gradient of greens and yellows, transitioning from a deep forest green border to a luminous cream-white center. The geometric precision typical of the Op-Art movement is softened by the lush, tactile texture of the shag weave, creating a "soft-edge" architectural effect. It perfectly captures the bold, experimental spirit of 1970s European design.

Potential Provenance
While many such high-quality artistic textiles were custom commissions, this piece bears the hallmarks of prestigious manufacturers known for collaborating with artists during that era, such as:

Ewald Kröner (Germany) – famous for his "Schloss Werkstätten" artistic rugs.
Desso (Netherlands) – renowned for their bold geometric 70s palettes.
Besmer – known for high-end sculptural shag textures.
