- Eliko Rugs by David Ariel Vintage Swedish Rollakan Rug, Green/Yellow PaletteLocated in New York, NYRollakan rugs are a type of traditional Swedish flat-woven rug. The name "rollakan" comes from the Swedish words "rulla" (to roll) and "lakan" (sheet). These rugs are characterized by their flat, reversible weave and often feature geometric patterns or pictorial designs. Rollakan rugs are created using a tapestry weaving technique, where the weft threads are tightly woven into the warp threads to create the desired pattern. They are known for their versatility and durability. The designs on rollakan rugs can vary widely, ranging from simple geometric shapes to intricate motifs inspired by nature, folklore, or traditional Swedish art. Historically, rollakan rugs were woven by rural communities in Sweden and were used as floor coverings, bed covers, or wall hangings. Today, they continue to be appreciated for their beauty and craftsmanship and are often sought after as collectible items or used to enhance the décor of modern interiors. Rollakan rugs are typically made using natural materials such as wool or linen, providing a sustainable and environmentally friendly option. They are also known for their vibrant colors, often achieved through the use of natural dyes. Overall, rollakan rugs represent a significant part of Sweden's weaving heritage and are cherished for their unique designs and craftsmanship. Eliko Rugs by David...Category
