About the Item
Vintage Scandinavian Geometric Rug, Sverige Riolakan by Polly Bjorkm
Size: 5'4" × 8'4" (162 × 254 cm).
This striking mid-century modern Scandinavian rug is a powerful example of the bold geometric design language characteristic of Nordic textile art in the 1950s. Woven with precision in flat-weave technique, the rug showcases an arresting composition of angular forms and dynamic symmetry.
The field is dominated by a rhythmic interplay of triangles, diamonds, and circles, rendered in vivid hues of fiery red, burnt orange, ochre, and earthy olive green. These colors are framed and divided by dramatic black linear outlines, emphasizing contrast and creating a strong architectural feel. The centerpiece—a radiating medallion formed by segmented circular and triangular shapes—anchors the composition and draws the eye to the center, creating balance and harmony within the kinetic design.
Executed in pure wool, the rug maintains a robust texture and vibrant coloration that has aged beautifully, preserving both its artistic impact and material integrity. The color palette—deep yet energetic—is typical of the Scandinavian modern aesthetic, merging warmth with clarity and structural logic.
Highly collectible and visually compelling, this vintage Scandinavian rug offers not only functional comfort but also a bold artistic statement. It would make an exceptional addition to a modernist interior, where its abstract design and saturated tones can complement both minimalist and eclectic spaces.
With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage 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.
