About the Item
Swedish Rya Rug by Aili Suomi Doris Leslie Blau Collection
Size: 4'0" × 5'4" (121 × 162 cm)
This captivating Swedish Rya rug by Aili Suomi from the 1960s exemplifies the harmonious blend of geometry, texture, and artistry that characterizes Scandinavian modern textile design. Aili Suomi’s work is celebrated for its expressive balance between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary abstraction—an aesthetic that this piece beautifully embodies.
The composition centers around a vertically structured field, where contrasting panels are framed by rhythmic linear motifs. The design combines soft ivory and cream tones with accents of black, denim blue, and coral red, resulting in a pattern that feels both organic and architecturally precise. The variation of hues and the high-pile wool texture give the rug an appealing depth and dimension, shifting subtly with the play of light.
Expertly hand-knotted in pure wool, the dense shag pile offers a luxurious tactile experience while maintaining the rustic warmth typical of mid-century Scandinavian rya weaves. Suomi’s keen eye for form and color makes this piece not just a textile, but a statement of artistic modernism and Nordic sensibility.
Ideal for interiors inspired by mid-century, bohemian, or minimalist design, this vintage Rya rug adds character, texture, and timeless artistry to any space.
A prime example of the exclusive and varied Doris Leslie Blau designs, this rug brings luxury and character to any space. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
