Vintage Swedish Rug by Aina Kange, Origin: Sweden, Circa: Mid-Twentieth Century – This dynamic neutral rug is a masterpiece by the famed Swedish midcentury designer Aina Kange. Her works were created to complement Midcentury Modern furniture and create a conversation area. The color palettes fit remarkably well in the modern minimalist design and retro furniture styles. This rug plays with line and perspective to create a look that compliments contemporary room designs.

Nordic style is a trend that has been making a comeback for several years and continues to gain in popularity. One of the hallmarks of Nordic design is simplicity in color and pattern. This rug uses a palette that consists of only three neural colors, making it perfect for creating a feeling of calm within the space. The geometric design reflects the Midcentury Modern aesthetic that designers are once again turning to when they want to create a feeling of calmness within the room.

Midcentury Modern furniture design features minimal legs and wide, open spaces underneath the surfaces. This created a new canvas for designers to create areas for self-expression. They often chose rugs that contrasted with the overall character of the room. Rugs became a valued piece of artwork rather than an afterthought, and designers continue to use this concept in modern spaces.

Kange was born in 1906 and was a contemporary with artists such as Palmer Eide, Ida Galant, and Barbara Chalmers. The expressive artworks of these artists often echoed political shifts and changes in thought that were prevalent throughout the 1920s and 1930s. These influences are apparent throughout much of Kange’s work.

This piece uses simple shapes to create a feeling of depth and dimension. It will be an excellent addition to a space with textured textiles and art pieces. The precision of the design gives it a rhythm that would be an excellent addition to an ultra-modern room design, or it could be used to add contrast to a room with organic, curvy shapes. This piece will make an excellent addition to a home office where it will spark your creativity.
