This vintage Finnish Ryijy (Rya) rug, titled "Täysikuu" (Full Moon), is a striking handwoven wool textile that exemplifies modern Finnish design. The rug features a dramatic colour palette dominated by deep reds and rich blacks, arranged in bold geometric and abstract patterns reminiscent of a full moon’s shadowed surface. The high-pile wool creates a lush, textured surface, offering warmth and tactile comfort. This piece blends traditional Scandinavian rya weaving techniques with mid-century modern artistic expression, making it a captivating focal point for contemporary interiors seeking a blend of heritage and bold design.
The vintage carpet was masterfully hand-crafted 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 severe weather conditions.
Despite its historical heritage, the antique bears an exceptionally modern design settled in the aesthetic standards of the 50s.
