Swedish Flat Woven Rug by Bitte Ahlgren BB8353 5'4" × 7'10" $9,000

This charming vintage flat-weave rug by Swedish textile artist Bitte Ahlgren epitomizes the elegance and restraint of Scandinavian design. Woven in a soothing palette dominated by denim blue, ivory, ochre, and muted coral, the composition radiates balance and harmony.

The central field is a rich expanse of variegated indigo blue, subtly textured to create a sense of depth and quiet movement. This meditative field is framed by a decorative border featuring a rhythmic alternation of three geometric motifs: ochre squares with centered gray dots, cross-like blue checkered patterns, and sawtooth-edged coral diamonds. Each motif reflects the simplicity and utility of traditional Swedish folk art, abstracted into a distinctly modernist idiom.

The flat-weave construction—crafted in pure wool—ensures durability and reversibility, while the soft color transitions and refined geometry lend it a timeless appeal. The rug is signed in the corner with Ahlgren’s woven monogram, a mark of authenticity and craftsmanship.

Ideal for interiors that celebrate minimalism with soul, this mid-century Swedish rug merges utility with subtle artistry. Whether in a modernist loft or a serene reading nook, it offers both warmth and a sense of design heritage.
