About the Item
Striking midcentury modern double-sided tapestry designed by celebrated Finnish textile artist Kirsti Rantanen for Helmi Vuorelma Oy, circa 1960s. This handwoven Täkänä tapestry features a bold and abstract figurative composition in black and olive green, showcasing Rantanen’s distinctive graphic style and mastery of traditional Finnish weaving techniques.
Executed by the renowned Helmi Vuorelma workshop in Lahti, Finland, the tapestry bears the original woven label and design credit. The powerful geometric forms and symmetrical pattern create a visually compelling wall piece that resonates with the aesthetic sensibilities of the Scandinavian modern movement.
This collectible textile art piece makes a stunning focal point in any contemporary, vintage, or eclectic interior, and is especially well-suited for collectors of Nordic design, brutalist art textiles, or midcentury wall hangings.
