Scandinavian design also widely contributed to the revolution in modern area rug aesthetics. The northern philosophy of the early 20th-century assumed that utilitarian objects should be affordable, beautiful and functional in equal measure. Therefore, artists from Sweden, Norway or Denmark have begun building upon the power of simplicity to achieve the goal of pro-social designs, deeply embedded in Scandinavian tradition. The results were absolutely fabulous and the unfading fame of Scandinavian carpets in NYC continues to this day, heavily influencing the shape of contemporary wool rugs in New York City and other corners of the world.
