This 9x12 rug is a premier addition to Rug & Kilim’s award-winning Scandinavian rug collection. Handwoven in wool, its design is inspired by mid-century Swedish minimalist textile designs of the Röllakan and Rya weaving traditions.
On the Design: This Swedish flatweave is from the “Nu” line of our collection, which features a boucle-like texture and a warm look—both impressionistic and comfortable compared to the cool tones of traditional Scandinavian provenance. Keen eyes will admire the subdued look of striae and subtle color variation, as well as the sense of movement they create. This kilim exemplifies that principle with a large-scale diamond checkerboard pattern in shades of olive green, moss, and forest sage—an earthy, forest-inspired approach to an iconic aesthetic.
The bold geometric vision enjoys a sophisticated architectural rhythm, where the organic depth of the wool provides a shimmering, multi-tonal effect. Our modern flatweave further enjoys our reputed, heavier body with buckle resistance and greater durability against foot traffic. It is a sophisticated contribution to the Swedish Deco aesthetic that both innovates and honors mid-century Scandinavian rugs.
