Signed Anna-Johanna Ångström Vintage Swedish Scandinavian Röllakan Rug
About the Item
79062 Anna Johanna Angstrom Vintage Swedish Rollakan Rug, 05'05 x 07'08. This handwoven wool vintage Scandinavian Swedish rollakan rug, titled “Aniara”, is a stunning creation by the renowned Swedish textile artist Anna Johanna Ångström. It reflects the timeless elegance of Scandinavian design, where geometric abstraction and vibrant color coexist harmoniously. The Swedish rug’s bold palette of red, orange, and pink hues creates a visually striking composition, balanced by soft accents of blue and gray. The pattern is a series of interlocking diamonds and triangles, symbolizing Ångström's mastery in creating dynamic yet cohesive designs that evoke a sense of movement and depth.
The title “Aniara” likely draws inspiration from the Swedish epic poem of the same name, written by Nobel Laureate Harry Martinson in 1956. "Aniara" is a science fiction narrative that tells the story of a spaceship carrying emigrants from Earth to Mars, only to become lost in space. Martinson’s tale explores themes of existentialism, isolation, and the beauty of the cosmos—concepts that resonate with Ångström’s design through its bold, celestial-inspired colors and abstract geometric forms. This vintage Swedish flatweave rug may thus evoke the boundless and mysterious nature of space, offering a visual tribute to the poetic depth of the “Aniara” narrative.
The choice of colors in this rollakan rug is both daring and sophisticated, with a central field dominated by warm red and orange tones that seem to radiate outward, giving the rug an almost glowing effect. This intense warmth, contrasted with cool grays, could symbolize the contrast between human warmth and the cold vastness of space—a theme in Martinson’s poem. Ångström’s unique ability to blend these colors and geometric forms into a seamless narrative demonstrates her skill as a designer and her understanding of how color and shape can evoke both emotion and story.
With the initials in the lower corner, this Scandinavian rollakan rug proudly bears Ångström’s signature, marking it as an authentic piece from her body of work. This woven wonder is more than a floor covering; it’s a statement piece, ideal for spaces that celebrate art, history, and the stories woven into textiles. Its vibrant colors and symbolic design make it perfect for interiors that embrace Scandinavian Modern, Bohemian, or even Mid-Century Modern aesthetics, offering warmth, character, and a poetic narrative inspired by one of Sweden’s most iconic literary works.
