About the Item

79055 Astrid Sampe Vintage Swedish Rollakan Rug, 06'06 x 09'11. This handwoven wool vintage Scandinavian rollakan rug, designed by the celebrated Swedish textile artist Astrid Sampe, is a vibrant expression of mid-20th century Swedish modernism. Known for her work at Nordiska Kompaniet (NK) and her role in shaping Swedish textile design, Sampe was a pioneer in blending traditional Swedish folk motifs with a contemporary flair. This pink Scandi flatweave rug, with its joyful color palette and playful design, exemplifies her innovative spirit. The initials "AS" in the lower corner mark it as an authentic piece by Sampe, whose contributions have left an indelible mark on Scandinavian design. The Swedish rollakan rug’s design features a central field of warm pinks, which radiates a gentle energy and warmth, surrounded by a bold border of large, stylized flowers in hues of gold, mint green, and soft blue. Each flower is rendered with sharp, geometric edges, evoking the simplicity and clarity of Scandinavian folk art while embracing a modern aesthetic. Circular motifs with earthy tones and lines reminiscent of branches or stems add rhythm and balance to the composition, reinforcing Sampe’s attention to detail and her affinity for organic patterns. The color palette is both bold and harmonious, characteristic of Sampe's approach to Scandinavian modernism. The vibrant pinks and golds, offset by cooler greens and blues, create a lively contrast that captures attention without overwhelming the senses. This combination of warm and cool tones reflects Sampe’s ability to evoke the changing Swedish landscape, from the bright hues of wildflowers to the earthy greens of pine forests. Such a palette brings a sense of cheerfulness and energy, making it suitable for brightening modern or traditional interiors alike. Astrid Sampe’s work, including this exquisite vintage Swedish rollakan rug, has become iconic in Scandinavian design history. Her textiles were more than functional pieces; they were a means of introducing modern art into everyday life. This Scandinavian masterpiece is a testament to her vision of bringing beauty, functionality, and innovation to Swedish homes, embodying a perfect fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern design. It stands as a statement piece, celebrating the timeless appeal of Scandinavian design and Sampe’s enduring legacy as one of its foremost creators. Designed by: Astrid Sampe.
