About the Item
Mid-20th Century Swedish pink, blue and yellow flat-weave runner by Sverker Greuholm.
Size: 3'4" × 10'1" (101 × 307 cm)
This striking vintage Swedish flatweave runner, designed by Sverker Greuholm, is a quintessential expression of Scandinavian mid-century modern design—bold, structured, and harmonious in both color and form. Woven in the 1950s, the piece captures the era's fascination with geometry, balance, and the interaction of color within a tightly composed field.
The design is arranged around a central grid structure, with interlocking rectilinear motifs anchored by diamond-shaped medallions rendered in alternating hues of powder blue, crimson, ivory, and pale gray. The primary ground is a vibrant terracotta-rose tone, giving the entire piece warmth and visual energy, while the interior bands of soft yellow, dark chocolate, and white create a striking architectural framework.
Each colorblock is carefully woven with subtle tonal shifts that give the textile a hand-hewn depth, and the pattern exhibits a rhythmic symmetry typical of Greuholm’s work—straddling both decorative function and artistic statement.
Executed in durable wool using traditional Swedish flatweave (rölakan) techniques, the runner is reversible and highly practical, making it ideal for long hallways, entryways, or beneath a dining bench. Its clean-lined aesthetic and modernist edge make it highly desirable among collectors and interior designers alike.
This piece not only reflects the ethos of Swedish modernism but also embodies the enduring utility and artistry of handwoven Scandinavian textiles.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
