Greta by Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg – Kasthall

Greta by Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg

The art of gathering. Inspired by rest products and finds in our absolute vicinity, i.e. our factory and weaving mill, we have created a playful, inspiring and versatile toolbox. Color tones, texture and tactility from leftovers, wood, glass, metal scrap, old punch cards and packaging have given birth to beautiful mixed shades; an addition of seven new colors (to the already existing five) to the Greta family. Each rug consists of twelve different yarns, giving rise to complex, yet harmonic color combinations. A vivacious rug of superior quality whose contrasting and timeless character is a reminder how quality is recurring constant in our life cycle. The original conceptual design was created by Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg, 2007.

Between 1987 – 2015, Gunilla Lagerhielm Ullberg, was the Lead Designer of Kasthall. She has designed most of Kasthall’s classic collections, such as Moss, Fogg, Häggå and Tekla, and she has been awarded numerous prestigious design accolades – most recently the Elle Decoration “Designer of the Year” award in Sweden.
