About the Item
Swedish Rya Rug by Aili Suomi for Sylvi Salonen Doris Leslie Blau Collection
Size: 3'6" × 5'5" (106 × 165 cm)
This expressive Swedish Rya rug, designed by Aili Suomi for Sylvi Salonen in the 1960s, captures the spirit of Scandinavian modernism with its masterful balance of color, abstraction, and texture. Handwoven in Finland, the piece exemplifies the artistic collaboration between Suomi’s creative vision and the renowned Finnish textile studio of Sylvi Salonen, celebrated for its avant-garde design and exceptional craftsmanship.
The composition unfolds in an abstract geometric field rendered in soft hues of ice blue, slate gray, ivory, and muted yellow, with subtle accents of charcoal and red lending depth and intrigue. The loosely gridded pattern suggests an organic structure—reminiscent of architectural blueprints or mid-century textile art—imbued with a painterly rhythm.
Crafted from hand-knotted wool, the luxurious high-pile texture enhances the interplay of light and shadow, offering both tactile comfort and visual richness. This Rya rug’s serene color palette and sculptural surface make it a perfect fit for interiors inspired by Nordic minimalism, modern art, or mid-century design.
A unique piece that bridges design and artistry, it stands as a testament to the golden age of Scandinavian textile innovation. 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.
