Machine Made Finnish Rug BB8603 9'6" × 13'4" $18,000

A great example of a vintage Finnish rug from the mid-20th century, this piece embodies the core values of Scandinavian design: simplicity, functionality, and uniqueness. Its eye-catching geometric design and earthy color palette, accented with blue and red, create a truly one-of-a-kind look. The seemingly chaotic order is transformed into an artistic Art Deco-style composition, while the striking interplay of pattern and scale gives this Finnish machine made rug immense visual interest and graphic appeal.

The Northern European lifestyle focuses on cultivating a life that is mindful and joyful. A lack of clutter and emphasis on highly functional, streamlined items lends to this attitude. Organic shapes and natural materials are prominent elements of Scandinavian design. It stems from a culture of living in small rural communities that were generally isolated, requiring reliance on natural materials.
