* Strat writer Erin Schwartz was looking for flat-weave rugs on Etsy when they noticed a curious niche: “There are tons of dupes of rugs by mid-century female Scandinavian textile artists on there. Many are taggedMarianne Richter, which has become a weird erroneous catchall — this‘Richter-inspired’ rugis actually aIngegerd Silow dupe, andthis oneis based on a rug byBarbro Nilsson.”
