“Gyllenrutand” Modern Geometric Slate Gray Hand-Knotted Wool Rug N11430 14'4" × 22'4" $51,000

This stunning oversized contemporary rug pays homage to Swedish design heritage through a bold and minimalistic interpretation of the traditional Gyllenrutand (Golden Grid) motif. Masterfully woven by artisans in India, the piece blends Scandinavian aesthetics with exceptional craftsmanship and texture, resulting in a floor covering that is both timeless and modern.

The rug features a rhythmic arrangement of large, checkered squares in alternating shades of denim, navy, slate, and sky blue, brought to life through a grid of ivory “stitched” outlines. The tonal variance in the pile—from deep indigos to misty blues—adds a subtle sense of movement and visual depth to the otherwise geometric composition. Each square is slightly irregular in tone, giving the rug a hand-dyed character and a natural softness that avoids the rigidity often associated with grid patterns.

Woven in a plush, high-quality wool pile, the rug offers a luxurious underfoot feel while ensuring durability and resilience, making it ideal for large-scale living rooms, open-plan interiors, or commercial spaces with modern or transitional decor schemes. The large format is particularly well-suited for anchoring expansive rooms, providing both structure and sophistication.

With its cool palette and mid-century modern influence, this contemporary piece is more than just a floor covering—it is a design statement that merges clarity of form with warmth of material.
