About the Item

This vintage Swedish rya rug from the 1950s captures the essence of mid-century modern textile art with its striking geometric composition and luxurious high-pile wool. Handknotted by skilled Scandinavian artisans, the rug features a bold interplay of charcoal black, silvery grey, and creamy white tones that create a dynamic sense of rhythm and depth. The long, soft pile enhances the tactile richness, while the linear and grid-like design lends a sculptural quality that feels both minimalist and expressive. Perfect as a statement piece in a contemporary or modernist interior, this rya rug reflects the refined craftsmanship and artistic innovation that made Swedish weaving internationally admired during the mid-20th century. Its timeless palette and plush texture bring warmth, character, and understated elegance to any space.
