About the Item
This exceptional Swedish Rya rug, titled “Safari” and designed by Ingegerd Hylten-Cavallius for NIAB in 1962, is a striking example of mid-20th-century Scandinavian textile artistry. Handknotted in a deep, luxurious high-pile wool, the rug showcases a dynamic abstract pattern rendered in rich earth tones and vibrant greens, accented by touches of blue and sulfur yellow. The expressive composition evokes organic movement and natural forms, creating a visually captivating surface that shifts subtly with light and perspective.
Hylten-Cavallius’ distinctive artistic language is evident in the rhythmic interplay of shapes and color fields, giving the rug a sculptural presence that resonates with the modernist aesthetic of the period. The dense, tactile pile enhances its sense of depth and warmth, making it an inviting piece for interiors seeking character, artistry, and authentic Scandinavian craftsmanship.
As one of the sought-after designs produced by NIAB during the early 1960s, “Safari” remains a collectible work that exemplifies Sweden’s celebrated tradition of handknotted Rya rugs. This vintage piece brings bold visual interest and timeless mid-century style to any setting.
