Rya Rugs (or Ryijy) are the traditional Scandinavian rugs made in Sweden and Finland, and word "Rya" actually means Rug. The vintage Scandinavian Rya rugs that were made in Sweden have extremely long, dense pile and were inspired by the Turkish "Yataks" or bedding rugs. Simple patterns, stripes and geometric designs are emblematic of these textural treasures. Thanks to the recent revival of mid century decors the vintage Swedish Rya rugs seem to have made a strong comeback. Interior Designers and decorators from all four corners of the world are seeking out vintage Scandinavian rugs and more specifically the mid-century vintage Rya rugs because of their art deco feel and modernist designs.
