Modern Swedish Style Wool Rug

A hand-knotted high-low lambswool area rug. The timeless mid century Scandinavian design was inspired by a classic rug pattern by the Swedish textile artist Sigvard Bernadotte. An all over geometric pattern consisting of a single shape repeated in different colors and orientations encompassed by a simple narrow border. The color pallete is subdued, in shades of beige, gray, sage-green, and navy-blue.

Doris Leslie Blau carries an exceptional collection of modern rugs inspired by mid-century Swedish designs. We stay true to the legendary tradition of Scandinavian craftsmanship by hand-weaving flatweave wool Rölakan rugs and wool pile Rya rugs that are very close in looks and feel to the original ones. Contemporary hand-made rugs are a bridge throughout history, they are the fruit of the constant evolution of the weaving craft that has accompanied men since the dawn of civilization.
