This vintage Scandinavian Rya rug is a stunning example of 1970s modernist textile design, radiating energy and bold visual rhythm. Characterised by its deep, plush wool pile, the rug features an eye-catching geometric explosion motif, where radiating rays of brown, amber, mustard yellow, and ivory converge in a hypnotic, web-like grid. The dynamic composition creates a sense of movement and optical depth, drawing the viewer's eye toward the central glowing orbs.
Rooted in mid-century Scandinavian aesthetics, this Rya rug strikes a balance between artistic expression and functional warmth. Its retro colour palette and dramatic symmetry make it a perfect statement piece for modern interiors, whether displayed as a wall tapestry or placed underfoot. Both decorative and collectable, this piece embodies the playful innovation and craftsmanship of Scandinavian textile art.
The vintage carpet was masterly hand executed with the finest wool following traditional and refined weaving techniques, reaching the middle ages.
Its style, Rya, was developed centuries ago in Scandinavia to protect the people, especially the mariners living off the sea, from the severe weather conditions.
Despite its historical heritage, the antique bears an exceptionally modern design, settled in the aesthetic standards of the 50s.
