Swedish Mid-Century Geometric Teal Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Rya Pile Rug By Terttu Tomero BB9047 4'7" × 7'0" $7,000

This stunning vintage Rya rug, designed by Finnish textile artist Terttu Tomero, embodies the mid-century Scandinavian aesthetic at its most refined — minimalist in form yet rich in color, texture, and warmth. Handwoven in the 1960s, the rug presents a striking checkerboard pattern that merges geometry with organic softness, creating a bold visual rhythm.

The composition features deep oceanic tones of teal, turquoise, indigo, and midnight blue, skillfully blended to evoke depth and dimension. The interplay of light and shadow across the high-pile surface adds a tactile, almost sculptural quality, typical of Tomero’s masterful Rya designs.

Meticulously hand-knotted from pure wool, this piece delivers both luxurious texture and durability. The long, plush pile — characteristic of Scandinavian Rya rugs — offers a lush, inviting feel, making it ideal for modern, minimalist, or retro-inspired interiors.

More than a floor covering, this Rya rug functions as a piece of textile art — an expression of the Nordic modernist vision where simplicity, craftsmanship, and emotion harmoniously coexist.

With its unique pattern and refined colors, this rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
