About the Item
Swedish Rya Rug by Impi Sotavalta Doris Leslie Blau Collection
Size: 4'5" × 5'9" (134 × 175 cm)
This vibrant vintage Swedish Rya rug from the mid-1940s, designed by Impi Sotavalta, captures the spirited essence of Scandinavian modernism. Woven in Finland, the rug presents a dynamic geometric pattern composed of stylized abstract motifs, rendered in a bold yet harmonious palette of terracotta red, sand beige, taupe, chestnut brown, and soft blue-gray accents.
The design’s rhythmic repetition and subtle asymmetry give the composition a lively, hand-crafted character, while the deep Rya pile creates a lush, tactile surface typical of Scandinavian shag rugs from the period. Sotavalta’s work embodies the Nordic appreciation for natural materials and color harmony, transforming folk-inspired design into a modern, expressive art form.
Handwoven from high-quality wool, this piece combines warmth, texture, and artistry, making it a perfect statement rug for contemporary or mid-century-inspired interiors.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
