Product description
This vibrant wool rug - likely woven in Germany in the 1970s - is a striking testament to the adventurous spirit of mid-century textile design. Rendered in hand-knotted wool, its bold, abstract floral motif pulses with the energy of late 1960s and 1970s Pop-Art and “Space Age” interiors - a look that can simultaneously evoke psychedelic exuberance and modernist bravado. Rugs with this kind of exuberant, flower-heavy abstract design were indeed part of a wave of German (and more broadly Western European) rugs from that era.
Underfoot, the rug offers a wonderfully soft, tactile experience, while its saturated, bright colour palette ensures it becomes an immediate focal point in any room. Whether used as a floor covering or as a bold wall hanging, the rug transforms its surroundings — marrying vintage character with a kind of sculptural, textile-art presence.
As with all vintage pieces, it bears gentle signs of age and use, giving it subtle patina and lived-in charm rather than detracting from its beauty. This condition speaks to its authenticity - a genuine artefact of 1970s interior design, not a modern reproduction.
Because of its design language - that vivid, freeform floral abstraction - this rug invites comparison to other 1970s German rugs made by ateliers responding to Pop, Space-Age, and modernist aesthetics. Some of those were produced by well-known makers such as Reichel or Teppich Siegel; rugs like these were often made from 100 % wool and aimed at homeowners seeking Statement pieces in bold colours and playful patterns.
In short: this rug is more than just a floor covering. It is a colourful fragment of 1970s design history - a piece where craftsmanship, colour, and abstraction meet. For lovers of vintage design, sustainability and personality in interiors, it’s a piece with soul: bold, tactile, and unapologetically expressive.
