The field is organized as an offset brick pattern of rectangular blocks in a flecked ivory and beige tone, each panel outlined by narrow bands of slate blue that shift in a running bond arrangement from row to row. The blue lines also frame the outer edge, forming a simple border, while the overall surface reads as a grid of quiet, subtly striated compartments. No inscriptions or figural motifs appear; the effect rests entirely on the alternating block-and-line structure.

Anne Marie Boberg was a Swedish textile artist whose designs are inherently Scandinavian. She has produced a wide variety of röllakan throughout the mid-20th century. Her designs are highly influenced by Scandinavian motifs, featuring softer colors paired with classical designs as well as chic geometric patterns. During her partnership with Axeco Svenska Company, she produced many flat weave röllakan that were handwoven. Boberg is also known for her publication on the art of macrame that came at a time of its international revival.
