Its design merges Art Deco with Scandinavian style which results in a mesmerizing, simple yet dynamic composition. The abstract main field carries pronounced, irregular patches of color enclosed within a minimalistic charcoal border and finished with decorative laces at two shorter sides.

    Although quite abundant in hues and forms, this special European deco rug remains in perfect balance and exudes a truly sophisticated vibe. Its soft and sheen pile was thoroughly hand-knotted of the finest wool in accordance with old and refined weaving techniques by Kiikan Kutamo. Such thorough making has enabled the vintage Deco rug to survive until this day without any signs of wear and will allow it to serve its lucky owners for generations.

Its power lies in minimalism which never goes out of fashion and is the secret of Scandinavian style’s success.
