Mid-Century Scandinavian Geometric Light Gray Flatweave Wool Rug Designed By Judith Johansson “Spise Hall” BB8960 5'7" × 8'0" $14,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave wool rug, designed by Judith Johansson and titled “Spise Hall,” was handwoven in the mid-century period. Rooted in the Scandinavian textile tradition, it brings together disciplined geometry and an unexpectedly soft, domestic palette.

The composition is organized around a light gray ground and a precise allover repeat of stacked, interlocking forms. Bands of soft blue, pale yellow, muted green, blush pink, and chocolate brown create a steady visual rhythm, while the stepped edges of each motif keep the pattern lively rather than rigid. The result is abstract and geometric, yet approachable in scale and tone.

As a kilim-like flatweave, the rug has the crisp, tactile character prized in Swedish weaving, with slender fringes at the ends adding to its relaxed finish. Its balanced structure and restrained color story make it well suited to interiors that favor clarity, warmth, and quiet modernism.
