Tånga is one of Barbro Nilsson's most enduring and characteristic gobeläng flatweave rugs. The design reflects Nilsson’s refined sense of rhythm and proportion, combining subtle shifts in color and structure to create a calm yet dynamic surface inspired by seaweed along the local beaches. Over the decades, it has been woven in a range of colorways, each maintaining the harmonious balance that has made the design a favorite among collectors and architects alike.
MATERIALS AND CARE
The rug is hand-woven in wool on a linen warp. Wool is naturally stain-resistant and should not be washed too frequently, as this can strip the natural oils that protect the fibers.
To ensure even wear, rotate the rug periodically. Regular vacuuming is beneficial, but avoid vacuuming the braided edges and refrain from using a vacuum with rotating brushes.
MADE-TO-ORDER
This is a vintage rug ready for immediate delivery; however, it can also be woven as made-to-order by the skilled artisans at the studio in Båstad, Sweden. Please contact us for further information and assistance.
