or Call to Order

For Castle, Maja Johans­son was inspired by antique jacquard tapes­tries, velvet drapes, ceramic struc­tures and art by John Bauer and Gustav Klimt. The rug, in chenille, linen and wool yarns, consist of three quiet patterns, two of which func­tion as borders and the third pattern being the domi­nat­ing part of the rug’s surface. The elegant collec­tion of small scale patterns leave plenty of room for the mate­ri­als and stylish color palette to shine through.
