Scandinavian Modern Rugs and Carpets
SCANDINAVIAN MODERN STYLE
Scandinavian modernism is perhaps the warmest and most organic iteration of modernist design. The work of the designers associated with vintage Scandinavian modern furniture was founded on centuries-old beliefs in both quality craftsmanship and the ideal that beauty should enhance even the humblest accessories of daily life.
ORIGINS OF SCANDINAVIAN MODERN FURNITURE DESIGN
- Emerged in the 1930s
- Scandinavian design and Nordic design originated primarily in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and Norway
- Introduced in the United States in mid-20th century
- Informed by the Bauhaus; influenced American mid-century modernism
CHARACTERISTICS OF SCANDINAVIAN MODERN FURNITURE DESIGN
- Bold, clean lines and simple, sturdy symmetries
- Use of natural materials — native woods such as pine, ash and beech
- Open, airy spaces
- Promotion of functionality
- Emphasis on craftsmanship; rooted in cabinetry profession and traditional construction techniques
- Minimal ornamentation (little to no embellishment)
- A neutral or light color palette owing to prominence of light woods
SCANDINAVIAN MODERN FURNITURE DESIGNERS TO KNOW
- Alvar Aalto
- Hans Wegner
- Kaare Klint
- Arne Jacobsen
- Greta Magnusson Grossman
- Finn Juhl
- Arne Vodder
- Verner Panton
ICONIC SCANDINAVIAN MODERN FURNITURE DESIGNS
VINTAGE SCANDINAVIAN MODERN FURNITURE ON 1STDIBS
The gentle, organic contours that are typical of Scandinavian design appear in the furnishings and decor created by Danish, Finnish and Swedish designers not as a stylistic gesture, but rather as a practical, ergonomic — and, as importantly, elegant — response to the human form.
Each nation produced exceptional talents in all areas of the applied arts, yet each had its forté. Sweden was home to Greta Magnusson Grossman and Bruno Mathsson — creators of the classic Grasshopper lighting series and Berlin daybed, respectively — but the country excelled most notably at ceramics. In the 1920s at the great Gustavsberg porcelain manufactory, Wilhelm Kåge introduced pieces in the Scandinavian style based on influences from folklore to Cubism; his skills were passed on to his versatile and inspired pupils Berndt Friberg and Stig Lindberg.
Likewise, Finland produced a truly ingenious Scandinavian modern furniture designer in the architect Alvar Aalto, a master at melding function and artistic form in works like the Paimio chair, created in collaboration with his first wife, Aino. Yet Finnish glassware was pre-eminent, crafted in expressive, sculptural designs by Tapio Wirkkala and Timo Sarpaneva.
The Danes excelled at chairs. Hans Wegner and Arne Jacobsen were exemplars of the country’s facility with wood, particularly teak.
Wegner created such iconic pieces as the Round chair and the Wishbone chair; Jacobsen — while the revolutionary architect and furniture innovator produced the best-selling plywood Ant chair — designed two classic upholstered pieces of the 1950s: the Swan chair and Egg chair. The list of great Danes could go on and on, including Finn Juhl, a stylistic maverick and maker of the bold Chieftain chair; Poul Kjaerholm, with his lean metal-and-rattan aesthetic; and Verner Panton, who introduced a vibrant Pop note into international design.
Today, decades after their heyday, the prolific, ever-evolving Scandinavian modernists continue to amaze and delight, and interior designers all over the world use their pieces to bring warmth to any given space.
On 1stDibs, you will note both instantly recognizable vintage Scandinavian modern chairs, sofas, rugs and tables — those that have earned iconic status over time — and many new discoveries.

Custom Scandinavian Modern Swedish Inspired Kilim Rug, Blått Rutmönster
Located in Dallas, TX
30701 Custom Swedish-Inspired Kilim Rug, 4 x 7.
This is a listing for a custom-made Swedish Inspired kilim rug. Please note that the size, shape, or color of the actual rug may exhibit slight variations compared to the images provided, as each piece is meticulously crafted by hand and not a factory reproduction. It's important to appreciate the uniqueness inherent in handmade custom rugs; no two are precisely alike. While the approximate measurement is 4x7, variations of up to 4 to 5 inches may occur in either direction. Your understanding of the artistic nature of these creations is greatly appreciated.
Exemplifying the essence of Scandinavian Modern aesthetics, this meticulously crafted Kilim rug seamlessly blends simplicity with intricate details and textures. Handwoven from wool, this Swedish-inspired masterpiece evokes a sense of inviting comfort while maintaining a clutter-free atmosphere. The captivating checked design, adorned with soothing blue hues, harmoniously combines to form a truly unique and distinctive appearance.
The composition showcases a checkerboard pattern, artfully composed of squares and cubes in alternating colors. The intersecting perpendicular lines create an enigmatic juxtaposition within the geometric design, adding a touch of mystique to its overall charm. Drawing inspiration from the renowned designer Marta Maas-Fjetterstrom and her iconic Rutig pattern (meaning checked), this Swedish-inspired Kilim rug is affectionately referred to as "Blatt Rutmonster...

Black Sheepskin Rug, Black Icelandic Shaggy Long Wool
Located in Dural, AU
This sheepskin rug can be custom made to any size. Please check stock for this listing and enquire for pricing for a customized rug in natural edge, straight edge, or round rug designs.
This natural black sheepskin rug is handcrafted using fine quality long wool Icelandic sheepskin. With a rustic feel and an inviting shaggy appearance, this rug will add cosy elements to any interior. The black wool is the original sheep fleece with an eco-tanning process preserving the organic and natural color tones and markings found in the wool, therefore brown undertones may be present with natural high lights and streaks throughout the fleece.
With an incredible long wool pile raging between 8-20 cm (5-8 inches) in length, this irresistible shaggy sheepskin rug will make a statement.
Sheepskin qualities are underestimated, as they are cool in the summer as its hollow fibre absorbs heat and releases the heat over seven times faster than a synthetic fibre while in the colder months its warming properties keep us snuggle and warm.
At eluxury home, the Icelandic sheepskins we use for this rug are carefully sourced directly from Europe, using only natural by-product and eco-friendly processing, without the use of harsh and toxic chemicals that are damaging to the environment and humans. Our premium selection of Icelandic sheepskins allows our sheepskin rugs to be sustainable and are a safer and healthier flooring option for everyone to enjoy.
Each Icelandic sheepskin area rug crafted will be unique as no two sheepskin rugs will ever be identical or exactly the same. The irregular rug...
