On the Design

Admirers of the craft will know this particular design as an exemplar of the “Swedish Deco” sensibility—a reminder that this movement was a profound influence on early Art Deco rugs as much as the mid-century modern and minimalist movements later. In its colorway a play of beige, light pink and taupe hues in its field underscore rectilinear geometric patterns in both rich and bright hues alike, with a particular emphasis on charcoal black. Keen eyes will further note the high-and-low texture married to the geometry, which lends a fabulous contemporary sense of depth and dimensionality to the geometry. Furthermore the tasteful abrashing created by our blend of yarns further lends a subtle, chic complement to the sense of movement as well—one of many beauties meant to honor an iconic design movement and speak to this collection as a contribution to that movement. less
