{"product_id":"nordicmodern-vibeke-klint-rug-vk-4-blue-large-runner-2-5-x-8","title":"Vibeke Klint Rug VK-4, Blue - Runner","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 1980s and 90s, Vibeke Klint often wove in a technique called warp repp. Unlike flat weave, where it is the weft that forms the pattern, it is the warp – the vertical thread – that forms the pattern.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSetting up the loom for a rug in warp repp takes up to 1 week, as there are 6 threads per centimeter. This means that there are often well over 1000 warp threads in a rug.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMost often, she combined warp repp with flat weave technique in her characteristic details in a “lightning” pattern. This is a challenging combination, as the two techniques work against each other and are difficult to balance, i.e. that the edges align.  Vibeke Klint mastered the difficult art of limitation, which makes a design timeless, of which the VK-4 design is an excellent example.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe combination of dark blue and black was repeated in many of Vibeke Klint’s rugs from this period, and was so characteristic that weaver Inge Alifrangis chose a detail from just such a rug for the cover of her book “Vibeke Klint – the weaver” which was published in connection with Vibeke Klint’s 70th birthday in 1997.
