Scandinavian Modern Rölakan Flatweave Rug by Maj Svanström, Sweden 1950s

About the Item

Scandinavian Modern Rölakan Flatweave Rug by Maj Svanström for Klockargårdens Hemslöjd, Sweden. This vintage Swedish flatwoven rug, designed by Maj Svanström for Klockargårdens Hemslöjd in Tällberg, Dalarna, dates back to the height of Sweden's Mid-Century handcraft revival. Measuring 207 x 140 cm, it features a signature "MS" (for Maj Svanström) on the left and "KH" (for Klockargårdens Hemslöjd) on the right, indicating its origin at Klockargården. Handwoven from pure wool yarn, this rug showcases a grid composition of off-white, pale blue, pale green, and pale yellow tones, accented by various shades of grey. Its white-gray mélange base is adorned with pastel polychrome geometric figures, creating an ingenious modular pattern. The interplay of plus motifs and geometric shapes offers a modernist design that transforms when viewed from different angles, creating a smooth and innovative visual illusion.
