About the Item
One-of-a-kind Geometric blue, pink, grey Swedish Rölakan by Kerstin Butler
Size: 6'7" x 10'6" (200 x 320 cm)
This striking vintage Swedish flat-weave rug, designed by Kerstin Butler in 1966, is a sophisticated example of mid-century Scandinavian textile design. Produced under the auspices of Södra Kalmar läns hemslöjd (SKLH)—a regional handicraft organization in southern Sweden—this piece embodies the thoughtful craftsmanship and structured aesthetic for which Swedish weavers are celebrated.
The design is organized into vertical rows of geometric motifs that resemble stylized arrowheads or rooftops, each framed within a soft grid structure. The color palette—featuring muted tones of denim blue, charcoal gray, dusty rose, lavender, and natural beige—creates a harmonious rhythm that’s both visually engaging and calming. The subtle shifts in hue add depth without overwhelming the eye, making this rug especially suited for minimalist or modern interiors.
Woven in durable wool using traditional flat-weave techniques, the rug reflects both functional integrity and artistic flair. A monogram woven into one corner reads "KB 1966", confirming Butler’s authorship and the rug’s date of origin, while "SKLH" signifies the affiliation with the South Kalmar County Handicraft Association.
This piece is not only a collectible example of 20th-century Swedish design but also a versatile decor element that brings quiet sophistication to any room. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
