Made in the mid-20th century, the rug stands for the values that Scandinavian design represents – it is simple, functional, beautiful and inspired by nature.

The most striking feature that immediately catches the eye is the omnipresent pink mixed with lavender, purple and small amount of yellow, white beige – these colors makes the otherwise uncomplicated design become a statement piece. Geometric and animal motifs beautifully harmonize, creating a composition both whimsical and elegant. One can notice at first glance that the vintage Swedish rug comes from the hands of a master. Its body was carefully hand-knotted of the finest wool in accordance with traditional techniques. Due to thorough making, it has survived until this day in excellent condition. Provided minimum amount of care, the Swedish rug will serve its owners for generations bearing no signs of wear.
