On the Design:

Umber tones of beige-brown, gold, and rust underscore square-shaped geometric patterns organized in diagonal rows, with punctuations of creamy white in between for a smart, subtle positive-negative element. Keen eyes will further admire subtle variations in the colorway, where a meticulous blend of yarns both recaptures the vintage sense of chic in the colorway and pattern and lends a subtle complement to the sense of movement such a comfortable, minimal series of patterns enjoys. Admirers of the craft may note this is also a nod to traditional Scandinavian weaving techniques in a contemporary fashion—an inventive new technique that honors the foundations of this historic mid-century modern movement. The marriage of a subtle high-and-low texture to the geometry, which also lends a fabulous new sense of depth and dimensionality to the otherwise simple, livable geometry that embodies the Scandinavian spirit. These and the many other beauties at play reflect the soul of the collection, which is a contribution of smart, current elements to an iconic movement in rug and textile design. less
