Hand-woven wool wall textile produced in Finland in the 1970s. Narrow vertical format suitable for wall display or as a decorative hanging.
The composition is organized along a central vertical axis. A sequence of geometric elements forms a structured abstract figure built from grids, diamonds, circles and linear bands. The palette is reduced to two strong tones - red and black - creating a clear graphic contrast.
The textile is double-sided, with the colors reversed on the opposite side.
The composition follows a symmetrical vertical structure. At the top and bottom appear grid square fields connected by linear bands. The middle section contains repeating geometric motifs and diamond forms framed by circular elements.
The entire structure reads as a continuous graphic column. Repetition of simple shapes creates rhythm and visual balance.
The limited palette and strict geometry reflect the visual language of Finnish modernist textile design of the mid-20th century.
Condition
Very good vintage condition. Light traces of age visible on close inspection. No structural damage observed.
Context
During the 1960s–1970s Finnish textile design often incorporated geometric abstraction and strong graphic contrasts. Hand weaving remained common both in studio production and in small workshops, resulting in textiles that combine traditional craft techniques with modern visual language.
