Swedish Flat weave Rug N11719 8'2" × 10'7" $9,000

Modern Swedish carpets continue to draw attention of interior designers and modern pattern carpet aficionados thanks to their simplistic beauty and effortless elegance. Their patterns often reference the country’s rich tradition while using modern approach we are so used to. This exquisite piece was hand knotted using high quality wool which ensured its durability. What immediately draws the eye is definitely its design. It is composed of rectangles and small squares and although it seems extremely simple, a closer look reveals genius hidden behind it. Every single element of the composition fits the other perfectly, resulting in a harmonious whole. The color palette might be rather conservative, but should be appreciated by those who love classic. Grays and greens highlighted by bits of beige create an enticing mix.

The biggest contribution should be definitely attributed to Märta Måås-Fjetterström – the mother of beautiful rugs, whose tremendous legacy is estimated at more than 700 original designs. Her creations have served as an inspiration to numbers of Swedish (but not only) artists, who followed in her footsteps.
