From Classic Moderism
In his 1961 publication Scandinavian Design, Ulf Hård af Segerstad outlines the history of the rya rug. Dating from the 15th century, he explains, the first Scandinavian ryas were coarse, long-piled, heavy covers used by seal hunters and deep-sea fishermen instead of furs. Later the rugs became lighter and more ornamental, and in the 19th century were often splendid festive tapestries regarded as valuable articles of inheritance. By the mid-20th century the rya had become a sort of painting in textiles, says Segerstad, with the individual artist identifiable by the colours, patterns and techniques in much the same way that one identifies a painter's canvas.
The rya bears witness, he concludes, like few other Scandinavian handicraft products, to a culture in which Ege Rya Taepper Sunrise rugthe cosy indoor warmth is a vitally important complement to an often severe climate. And still today, ryas are often displayed on a wall during the warmer summer months and taken down for use on the floor or even the bed during the cold Scandinavian winters.
It is the artistic nature of the design together with the deep and dense shag pile that characterises the mid to late 20th century rya. Ege's striking ryas of the 1960s and 1970s were machine-made to very high standards of quality in 100 per cent pure wool with a 2.5cm pile, with mothproofing and colourproofing to ensure that the rugs would have a long lifespan, and a 25-year guarantee to that effect. Their quality is reflected in the fact that some 10 to 15 years after the guarantee period a high proportion were still bright and intact.
