Mid Century Modern Retro Verner Panton Shag Swedish Rug, Scandinavia, Mid 20th Century By Verner Panton – Reminiscent of designs by Victor Vasarely, Verner Panton and Gaetano Pesce rolled into one, this fabulous mid-century Swedish vintage rug features a modern op-art pattern that has a well-defined minimalist style. Precise latticework compartments set over a gradient azure background create a marvelous visual effect.
The gradient tonal ground forms a luminous azure orb that has an eerie dimensional appearance but is still restrained by the solid grid that covers the foreground. The high-intensity saturated blues and vivid violets magically trick the eye with their reversed ombre and opposing levels of contrast. This fabulous vintage Swedish rug illustrates just how beautiful contemporary designs are when re-created in a sumptuous textural format that is functional and artful.
