Rug Double-Weave Schackruta
Svenskt Tenn’s double-weaved rag rug, “Schackrutan,” was designed by Margit Thorén in the 1940s.
The Schackruta Rug
Some of Margit Thorén's most celebrated creations from the 1940s are those designed for Svenskt Tenn and Estrid Ericson: the Gripsholmsruta textile, the Schackruta rug, and the Vägen upholstery fabric. These enduring classics continue to be part of Svenskt Tenn's timeless range.
Manufacturing the Schackruta Rug
The Shackruta rug is handwoven by Vandra Rugs' skilled weavers in Ukraine, using advanced weaving techniques.
