TISCA “LEON” Hand-Tufted Wool Rug – Design by Ulrike Sarvari, France 1990s

This striking yet balanced TISCA rug is a strong example of late 20th century European textile design. Designed by Ulrike Sarvari, the LEON model features a bold zigzag and stepped geometric pattern that brings rhythm and movement to the space. The interplay of deep blue and turquoise hues creates a dynamic visual effect that feels energetic yet sophisticated – confident without being overwhelming.

With its large dimensions of 170 x 240 cm, the rug is ideal for living rooms and spacious interiors, where it can function as a central design element. The graphic pattern is decidedly modern yet timeless, making it equally at home in contemporary interiors, mid-century modern settings or more expressive, color-driven spaces.

The rug is manufactured by TISCA, a renowned Swiss-based manufactory founded by the Tischhauser family, which has long been celebrated for its commitment to craftsmanship, material quality and artistic design. TISCA rugs are made using traditional hand-tufted techniques and are known for their durability, precision and distinctive visual language.

Made from pure virgin wool (reine Schurwolle), the rug has dense, plush fibers that are soft to the touch while being exceptionally durable. It is designed to be not only visually appealing but also to look beautiful in everyday living spaces. On the back, you will find the original TISCA HANDTUFT – LEON / 8778 label, which certifies the model, production technique and authenticity.

The rug has never been used and comes from long-term storage. Excellent condition, with vibrant colors, smooth surfaces, and no signs of wear – an increasingly rare trait for pieces from this era.

Contemporary, postmodern, and mid-century modern interiors, especially with iconic designer furniture and carefully curated spaces where textiles play a deliberate role.
