Swedish Flat Woven by Birgitta Soderkvist BB8312 5'6" × 8'1" $8,000

This charming flat-woven Swedish rug by Birgitta Söderkvist masterfully showcases the harmonious blend of form and color that defines mid-20th-century Scandinavian textile design. Woven in 1985, the piece exhibits Söderkvist’s signature sense of symmetry and balance, executed in a radiant palette of warm golden yellows, burnt oranges, moss greens, and earthy browns.

The composition centers around a field of vertical golden striations bordered by a striking frame of geometric floral medallions—each quadrant alternating with stylized blooms that evoke traditional Scandinavian folk motifs. The grid-like border layout, rendered on a soft ivory ground, creates a crisp contrast with the solid inner field and provides the piece with a well-structured, architectural feel. Subtle textural variation from the flat weave adds depth while maintaining a clean, modernist appearance.

Crafted from high-quality wool, this rug is both durable and inviting, ideal for contemporary interiors looking to incorporate Scandinavian warmth and minimalism with artisanal authenticity. With its signed corner and distinctive style, the rug stands as a beautiful example of Birgitta Söderkvist’s textile artistry and the enduring legacy of Swedish weaving.
