Size: 6'6" × 10'8" (198 × 325 cm). This contemporary handwoven wool rug pays homage to classic Swedish design through its bold geometric layout and a vibrant, yet balanced, palette. Inspired by mid-century Scandinavian aesthetics and crafted in India, this half-pile rug merges tactile richness with visual precision. The field is divided into a grid of large rectangular panels alternating between golden ochre and soft celadon green. This ordered rhythm is framed by a series of smaller squares and rectangles in complementary tones — slate blue, cinnamon red, mustard, cream, and aqua — each marked with linear accents that evoke woven or stitched details. The design draws from traditional Rölakan flatweaves but introduces depth and texture through its half-pile construction. The raised wool areas add a sculptural dimension, creating a subtle relief that enhances the rug’s graphic composition and softens the modern geometry. A harmonious color story — echoing Pantone swatches in muted blues, clay reds, golds, and dusty greens — makes this piece highly versatile, suitable for both modern and eclectic interiors. Its structure and palette make it not only a grounding element for a room but also a conversation piece that reflects craftsmanship and design heritage. Hand-knotted in India using premium wool, this rug reflects meticulous workmanship and thoughtful reinterpretation of classic Swedish textile traditions, ideal for today’s interiors. Exclusively available at Doris Leslie Blau, where tradition meets design excellence. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces. See less
