Mid-Century Scandinavian Abstract Light Beige Flatweave Wool Rug – “Korall” By Erik Lundberg (Vävaregården Eringsboda) BB8214 8'3" × 11'7" $32,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave rug, titled “Korall” and designed by Erik Lundberg for Vävaregården Eringsboda, reflects the refined modernism of mid-century Scandinavian weaving. Handwoven in wool, it belongs to the rölakan tradition, valued for its taut structure, crisp edges, and graphic clarity.

A deep brown field provides a calm backdrop for a single off-center abstract composition that recalls a coral form or a pixelated botanical cluster. The motif is built from stepped shapes in ivory, light beige, orange, warm tan, and black, producing a lively cadence of color and line. With no border to interrupt it, the design remains open and architectural.

That contrast between the quiet ground and the animated center gives the rug a strong visual presence without feeling heavy. It brings texture, movement, and a distinctly Scandinavian sensibility to contemporary living rooms, studios, and interiors that favor modern artful restraint.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug represents the enduring beauty and craftsmanship that have defined the gallery since its establishment in 1965.
