COLLECTION COLLECTIVE IMPRESSIONS
The air we breathe has the ability to fill any room it inhabits. A rug may not have the same physical ability, but it can define the character of a room. Or color it with an emotion. The impression it makes creates a feeling or an atmosphere. It falls flat to accept its role, but wisely chosen and placed it simply owns the stage and the room. With its rugs and carpets, Kasthall has defined rooms and spaces for more than 130 years. We have evolved along the way and created iconic rugs that have been passed on to the next generation. But also added meaning to rooms. We will never cease to look ahead, but in order to find our direction we need to understand where we come from. This year, we are doing exactly that. Touching down in history and reflecting over the future. We pay tribute to what fills us (and your room) with meaning. Design, sustainability, vision and pride. Kasthall impressions. In your life.
SQUARE – HAND TUFTED RUG IN PURE WOOL
A rug in varying black and coral-colored pure wool. Kasthall Design Studio has reinterpreted it in the same color scheme as it was originally designed in.
INSPIRATION 80’s
A time of change. The 1980s became a strong contrast to the mellow and natural 70s. The computer became as important as the manufacturing machines. Beauty as important as function with ”the new sensualism” and “poetic functionalism”. Colorful, individual expressions. Exclusive and playful. Experimental form and mixing of material. As a design decade, the 80s were like no other.
PÅFÅGEL – HAND TUFTED RUG IN PURE WOOL AND LINEN
Black and white graphic rug in wool and linen in a unique color scheme. Time-typical floral design which, thanks to its color and organic graphic form, is trend-sensitive with its timeless personality.
INSPIRATION 70’s
The 1970s were far from the “bright and fresh” that, in recent years, has become almost standard. It was a time of community and openness. And a design period that still puzzles and inspires. In terms of design, the 70s is alive and well. Ideas that today are applied to a furry shag rug, as inspiration for a woven pattern or creation of textures.
STUBB FAMILY
STUBB is a quality of wool and linen, now being updated with five color schemes added to the two existing ones. Other added features are two linear patterns, KATE and NAOMI, expressing a trend in which we see lively lines in looser long pile rugs. Shadow play. Contours. Surface and structure. When invisible suddenly becomes visible. This patternless and luxuriously rich, hand tufted rug has a smooth and vivid character inspired by fields of oats, soil, ink plumps and watercolor painting. Its complexity lies in the simplicity.
STUBB is available in seven different colors:
White Tea 120, Silver Fern 505, Silent Grey 803, Oat Shine 802,
Lemon & Lime 306, Green Shadow 305, Black Bean 504
STUBB KATE & NAOMI – HAND TUFTED RUG IN PURE WOOL AND LINEN
Two strong women. Two new patterns. Named after two super models, these shag rugs can be traced back to “Ray”, their original predecessor with its classical harlequin pattern. These elegant, yet playfully linear-patterned rugs express a freer form based on the same colors. Naomis central image with beaming diverging lines and Kate with a free chequered shape in the middle and mikado-like irregularity. Strong, simplistic identities in lively wool and linen is fitting for elegant homes, sitting rooms and bedrooms. Kate and Naomi also fit ideally in a lounge or with a set of sofas in low traffic public spaces. To trigger your creativity, they are available in a shape and size of your choosing.
Kate & Naomi is available in seven different colors:
White Tea 120, Silver Fern 505, Silent Grey 803, Oat Shine 802,
Lemon & Lime 306, Green Shadow 305, Black Bean 504
STRING – WOVEN CHENILLE RUG IN PURE WOOL
The awarded String (Svensk Form/Design S, 1998) has a crosswise corduroy line that flirts with the trendy and popular 70-ies. An expression of artistic minimalism that curiously explores proportions and material. In experimenting with new yarn colors in combination with existing ones, we are aiming for an expression that will present new homes for the rug – a bedroom or sitting room, or other sparsely trafficked spaces where you can tread on it and admire it.
String is available in six different colors:
White Pearl 80, Windy Grey 581, Desert Green 830,
Cranberry Red 710, Dark Sky 582, Radiant Blue 220
DORIS – NEW COLORS
Graphic strictness with a soft and subtle expression.
Doris is a woven rug in pure wool combined with two of our unique yarns
– the fluffy chenille yarn making up the pattern, and our classic wool yarn that is commonly used in many of our woven rugs.
Doris is available in six different colors:
White Pearl 80, Windy Grey 581, Desert Green 830,
Cranberry Red 710, Dark Sky 582, Radiant Blue 220
FEATHER – 2 NEW COLORS
The fringe is as vital part of Feather’s personality. The idea behind the base pattern and design originates from the belly of the penguin where the layered feathers harmonize to shape a lively impression in different colors for individual homes and exclusive spaces.
Feather is available in six different colors:
Flamingo 100, Nandu 500, Peacoock 501,
Black Raven 502, Heron 800, White Swan 801
