This particular piece is a great example of the fresh modernism preferred by Swedish designers, as it boasts a distinctly modern, simple design, the depth of which is found upon close second and third looks. This fascinating rug is composed primarily of a series of concentric rectangular figures, which are oriented like kites, each corner pointing in a different cardinal direction.
