Vintage Scandinavian Geometric Light Gray Flatweave Wool Rug By Bitte Ahlgren (Ba) BB7856 5'4" × 9'0" $16,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave wool rug by Bitte Ahlgren (BA) brings together mid-century Scandinavian clarity and everyday practicality. Woven in a restrained geometric language, it is defined by a broad, softly striated light blue field set within a carefully organized frame of pale gray, ivory, and cool sky tones.

The composition feels architectural rather than ornate: an open center is surrounded by a panelled border system, where alternating blocks hold crisp cross-like motifs in dusty pink, lavender, and blue. Those small accents give the design its rhythm, while the generous negative space keeps the overall effect airy and calm. A narrow striped finish at the edges adds a subtle, handwoven punctuation.

Executed in flatweave, the rug has the crisp texture and durability associated with Scandinavian weaving traditions, yet it remains visually gentle and easy to place. Its quiet palette and measured geometry make it especially suited to interiors seeking softness, structure, and a refined modern accent.
