Woven and knotted by the hand of skilled craftsmen, designer Thomas Sandell’s sprightly abstraction of fish scales patterns this luxurious area rug from Asplund’s Platinum series. In a mixture of 75 percent New Zealand wool and 25 percent silk, Fish’s succession of tiny knots creates a gorgeously marbled effect and vivid intensity in darker colors. Handcrafting makes each rug unique, like a piece of art that reflects its meld of international traditions and modern Swedish style.
