About the Item
Swedish Rya Rug by Ritva Puotila at Doris Leslie Blau
Size: 4'7" × 5'7" (139 × 170 cm)
This captivating Swedish Rya rug, designed by celebrated textile artist Ritva Puotila in the 1960s, embodies the expressive power of Scandinavian modernism. Bathed in a fiery spectrum of reds—from deep crimson to glowing vermilion—the rug radiates warmth and drama. Darker charcoal and burgundy tones gather at the edges, subtly framing the composition and creating a sense of depth and intensity.
The abstract, softly symmetrical design appears to emerge from the wool itself, evoking the movement of light through fabric or a pulsating energy at the rug’s center. Its signature high-pile Shag (Rya) texture enhances both its visual dynamism and tactile richness, making it a luxurious statement underfoot or a striking textile artwork when displayed on a wall.
Handwoven in Sweden from high-quality wool, this Puotila piece reflects the designer’s mastery of color blending and tonal gradation, hallmarks of mid-century Scandinavian textile design.
Perfect for collectors and design aficionados, this vintage Rya rug offers a bold focal point for modern, eclectic, or art-inspired interiors.
With its unique pattern and refined colors, this rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
