Vintage Round Swedish Rya Rug By Verner Panton 47697

Vintage Swedish Rya Rug by Verner Panton, Origin: Sweden, Mid-20th Century – Here is a beautiful vintage rug – a Scandinavian Rya, designed by the inimitable Verner Panton. Renowned and celebrated throughout the design world, Verner Panton is one of the most important figures to emerge from the mid-century modern school of design which flourished during the middle decades of the twentieth century. Widely admired by designers and consumers for his exciting, whimsical designs, Verner Panton remains incredibly popular today, with anything that bears his distinct touch continuing to be in high demand. This Swedish rug, with its round format and simplistic, playful design, is quintessentially Verner Panton, and offers some insight into why the designer continues to enjoy such influence. Deconstructed and straightforward, the design of this Scandinavian rug is both hypnotic and understated, consisting effectively of a series of contrasting shades of brown. These shades are strung together along the radius of this round together, bound into a curving shape that gives the impression perhaps of an ocean wave, or some other gently undulating phenomenon. Beautifully executed, this daring design makes for a dynamic and appealing vintage rug, the charm of which is as radiant today as it was upon its initial manufacture, at the height of the mid-century modern design movement.
