Charming and well-executed, it embodies the greatest ideals of the northern aesthetic thought – practicality, minimalism and beauty— that have fascinated designers and décor aficionados from every corner of the world since the first half of the 20 th century. The modern rug bears an allover simple yet playful geometric pattern, characteristic to Scandinavian design, complemented by an equally playful color palette. Red and vermilion create an interesting dynamic on the field, being accompanied by subtle touches of off-white, teal and purple.
