Mid-Century Scandinavian Geometric Light Beige Flatweave Wool Rug By Rakel Carlander (Squares) BB8074 5'4" × 8'0" $16,000

This vintage Swedish flat-woven rug, designed by Rakel Carlander in the 1950s, exemplifies the harmonious blend of geometry and subtle coloration characteristic of mid-century Scandinavian textile design. The composition features a grid of alternating squares, each adorned with stylized geometric figures. The color palette encompasses shades of blue, yellow, beige, white, brown, taupe and gray, creating a balanced and soothing visual rhythm.

Handwoven using the traditional rölakan technique, the rug showcases exceptional craftsmanship and durability. The two solid borders in melange gray and off-white frame the composition, providing a cohesive structure to the overall design. The monogram “C.” woven into one corner signifies Carlander’s authorship, adding a personal touch to this collectible piece.

Inspired by traditional Northern European crafts, culture, and nature, this rug embodies unpretentious elegance and would serve as a refined addition to both contemporary and classic interiors.
