or Call to Order

The Poetry rug is an expres­sion of passion­ate weaving. Poetry is created in the Arkad-pattern with dark earthy tones shift­ing to light ethe­real colors. Maja Johans­son created the pattern that is remi­nis­cent of build­ing blocks, but also holds a history of knowl­edge and genuine crafts­man­ship. Poetry is an ever-rele­vant poem bridg­ing the gap between yester­day, today and tomor­row – where the rug tells a compelling story through color and shape.
