In Legacy of Tomorrow, the theme of the 2018 collection, Kasthall began a dialogue between the past and future of the company, in which a love of textile history and natural materials have been guiding lights. With the ambition to craft beautiful rugs in high-quality material in an array of sophisticated colors, Kasthall has created a collection that calls upon the viewer to experience tomorrow’s legacy today. The resulting collection has an artistic simplicity that challenges earlier production methods.
Drawing inspiration from exclusive embroidery and haute couture, the new hand-tufted Diamond rug is handcrafted in wool and linen. Lines and tuft stitching in contrasting colours are imbedded in a structured surface of cut pile and bouclé loops. Like a mirror image, the line play breaks up the underlying pattern, creating an air of elegance and precision.
DIAMOND
Diamond is a hand-tufted rug with an abstract pattern that draws inspiration from haute couture. Designer Maja Johansson Starander at the Kasthall Design Studio, in collaboration with product developers, sketched and experimented on the tuft weave itself. The aesthetic expression has slowly emerged as a part of this creative experiment.
