Swedish Flat Woven Rug by Judith Johansson BB8359 6'3" × 10'3" $15,000

This exceptional mid-century Swedish flat-weave rug, designed by renowned textile artist Judith Johansson, showcases the designer’s signature blend of bold geometry and subtle color harmony. Handwoven in the 1950s, the piece reflects Johansson’s mastery in creating modernist compositions rooted in traditional Scandinavian craftsmanship.

The rug features a symmetrical all-over pattern of abstract botanical motifs arranged in horizontal bands, with delicate geometric florals rendered in muted blues, soft lavenders, gentle aquas, and chartreuse greens against a warm, creamy ivory background. Earthy taupe and gray accents add visual depth, while the handwoven texture introduces a subtle dimensional quality. The overall design is grounded yet airy, offering a perfect balance of color and form.

Johansson’s initials “JJ” are woven into the corner of the rug, authenticating the piece and paying homage to her important contribution to 20th-century Scandinavian textile art. Her work often bridges the natural world and the abstract, and this piece exemplifies that synthesis beautifully.

Woven in pure wool with meticulous attention to detail, this rug is not only a collector’s item but also a sophisticated addition to any interior—ideal for modern, eclectic, or Scandinavian-inspired spaces.
