Spöket Laban rug by Paula Lönnqvist

I know nothing about children's stories out of Sweden, but I do appreciate the striking looks of the Spöket Laban rug.

For reference, the design is based on a character from famed Swedish story book Inger och Lasse, recreated as a child's rug in bold red with black and white design by Paula Lönnqvist. Guaranteed to brighten up any room and to cheer up young or old.

Made of 100 per cent wool, you can pick one up for 135 Euros.
