Vibeke Klint Rug VK-5 black/white - 3 Standard Sizes

A special gift for a special person is the story behind the VK-5 rug that Vibeke Klint wove in the late 1940s. The rug was made in the post-war period, when there was a shortage of pretty much everything, so when Vibeke Klint was lucky enough to get a small batch of Norwegian wool, she wove a rug for her mother. The rug has been in the family’s ownership ever since, and is today with Vibeke Klint’s eldest son, Peter Klint.

For the first time since then, the rug is now available 4 standard sizes, a runner and 3 rectangular sizes.  The rug is part of NORDICMODERN’s collection of original Vibeke Klint rug designs, selected in close collaboration with the Klint family.

The VK-5 rug is woven in double-woven New Zealand wool, which makes it extra soft and comfortable. A rug woven in solid yarns that contain a lot of lanolin, which makes it dirt-repellent, so that it can also lie in the busier areas of the home.

The VK-5 was the very first rug that Vibeke Klint designed, consisting of small square pieces in white and black that are connected all over the surface, a dynamic checker-board design, it is both elegant and modern, but most of all so timeless, that it is now put into production for the next generation.
