Made with handwoven wool, its design is inspired by mid-century Swedish minimalist textile designs of the Rollakan and Rya weaving traditions.

On the Design:

This new Swedish flatweave is from the “Nu” line of this collection, which enjoys a boucle-like texture of handwoven wool and a look both impressionistic and comfortable compared to the cool, flat tones of traditional Scandinavian provenance.

Keen eyes will admire the subdued look of striae and subtle color variation, and the sense of movement they create. This Kilim exemplifies that principle with geometric patterns in slate gray, azure blue, and misty teal—a cool, aquatic-toned approach to an iconic aesthetic.

The composition features a rhythmic arrangement of rectangular "blocks" or cells, each housing a luminous, lighter-toned center that creates a pulsing, architectural energy across the field. These forms are anchored by horizontal teal bands and delicate stipple-effect borders at the top and bottom that provide a sophisticated rhythm.

Our modern flatweave further enjoys our reputed, heavier body with buckle resistance and greater durability against foot traffic. It is a comfortable, sophisticated contribution to the Swedish Deco aesthetic that both innovates and honors the spirit of mid-century Scandinavian rugs. See less
