Swedish Flat-Weave Rug (Rölakan / Kilim) designed by Brita Svefors for Axeco, Sweden. This handwoven textile showcases the traditional Scandinavian flat-weave technique, celebrated for its durability and geometric clarity. The composition features a strong dark blue to nearly black border, framing an intricate arrangement of rectangular and diamond motifs in warm earth tones of brown, tan, and beige. These surround a cooler central field in bluish to light blue hues, patterned with a rhythmic repeat of diamond shapes that create depth and balance.
The rug carries Svefors’ characteristic modernist approach—combining Swedish folk design traditions with a clean, contemporary sensibility. Subtle tonal contrasts give the piece versatility, allowing it to complement both mid-century modern interiors and more eclectic spaces.
The lower right corner bears the woven “S” artist’s monogram, signifying Brita Svefors’ authorship.
A fine example of Axeco’s mid-20th-century Swedish craftsmanship, this piece embodies the restrained elegance and graphic strength of Scandinavian textile design.
