Swedish Vintage Geometric Slate Gray Flatweave Wool Rug By Judith Johansson (Spise Hall) BB8213 9'2" × 12'3" $38,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave wool rug, known as Spise Hall and designed by Judith Johansson, reflects the mid-20th-century Scandinavian weaving tradition with unusual clarity and restraint.

The slate gray ground is organized by a disciplined grid of deep navy bands, forming rows of rectangular compartments that feel architectural rather than decorative. Within each module, softened blocks of mint, blush pink, pale blue, cream, and sage create a measured rhythm, giving the geometric layout a lighter, almost lyrical quality. The repeated abstract forms keep the composition balanced while adding steady movement across the field.

Handwoven in a flatweave construction, the rug has a crisp, low-profile character that suits present-day interiors as easily as it honors its Nordic roots. Its cool palette and structured pattern make it especially effective in modern, Scandinavian, or mid-century rooms, where texture, order, and subtle color are key.

Part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug reflects the gallery's dedication to preserving exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive design traditions. Its character, patina, and artistry make it a sophisticated addition to thoughtfully curated interiors.
