Vintage Panton Inspired Shag Pile Swedish Rya Hallway Runner Rug 47992

Vintage Swedish Rya Runner Rug, Origin: Sweden, Circa: Mid-20th Century – Here is a dynamic and exciting vintage carpet – a Scandinavian Rya rug, woven in Sweden during the mid-twentieth century – a time that saw an enormous explosion in the popularity of Scandinavian throughout the world. Characterized by a decidedly mid-century modern aesthetic, this vintage Swedish rug is an excellent example of some of the more important trends that affected and were affected by this important design style. For instance, the eccentric composition throughout this carpet is decidedly abstract; it isn’t a semi-concrete reinterpretation of tangible phenomena – rather, it is a wholly imaginative exploration, taking place on the surface of a carpet. The colors are consistent also with mid-century trends, as is the range in textures that one finds across the surface of the carpet. Endearingly popular into the present day, the mid-century modern style encapsulated by this exciting Scandinavian rug represents an important shift in the preconceived notions of the role of art in our daily lives.
