Mid-Century Scandinavian Geometric Slate Gray Flatweave Wool Rug – By Judith Johansson BB7895 6'8" × 9'4" $14,000

This vintage Scandinavian flatweave wool rug, designed by Judith Johansson in Sweden, belongs to the refined mid-century tradition of Swedish rölakan weaving. Its disciplined geometry and serene palette give it the clarity collectors and designers seek in a vintage geometric rug with enduring modern appeal.

Across the slate gray ground, a regular trellis of stepped medallions unfolds in cool blue, steel blue, lavender, and pale aqua. The repeating forms read like abstract blossoms or crystalline latticework, while the low-contrast field keeps the composition airy and architectural rather than busy. The result is graphic, but never severe.

Woven with the flat, durable surface characteristic of Scandinavian textiles, the rug offers subtle texture and tonal movement that layer easily into modern, minimalist, or eclectic interiors. It brings structure to open rooms, adds softness to pared-back spaces, and pairs especially well with natural wood, chrome, and restrained upholstery.

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