About the Item

This striking mid-century Swedish runner, designed by renowned textile artist Ingegerd Silow in the 1940s, is a masterclass in geometric abstraction and restrained color harmony. Handwoven in 1945, the piece exemplifies Silow's distinct blend of folk-art tradition and modernist influence. Bold linear forms in hues of amber, ochre, taupe, and steely blue intersect over a soft ivory ground, creating a dynamic composition reminiscent of early abstract painting and Nordic brutalist design. Woven in the traditional Rölakan flat-weave technique, the rug showcases the textural finesse and durable structure characteristic of Swedish mid-century textiles. The subtle variation in wool tones adds richness to the minimalist design, while the hand-braided fringes at either end offer a touch of artisanal charm. Ideal as a hallway runner or accent piece, this rug captures the elegance and innovation of Scandinavian design at its peak. Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau's curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
