CLASSIC GRETA IN NEW PLAYFUL TONES

Between the years 1987–2015 designer Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg created the majority of Kasthall’s classic rugs, including Greta. This woven wool rug is now being updated in seven new colorways and featured in Kasthall’s 2020 collection Colors in Between.

Kasthall has updated the rug in new colors to offer architects, designers and end-consumers
a well-composed contemporary palette that breathes playfulness, balance and freedom.
Here, Kasthall’s extensive knowledge in color, texture and tactility comes together in attractive new mottling.

Each rug may contain up to twelve different colors, allowing complex combinations on a rich color spectrum. For the more creative, it is possible to further experiment and create one’s own colors within the Greta family, just like Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg did once upon a time.

​“Greta is well-loved everywhere, from small hallways to stately churches and cultural edifices. We see her as a flexible chameleon in her Sunday best, ready to transform into exactly what every architect needs for their specific project. The exploration of color is a key part of Kasthall’s work, and we are delighted to pass Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg’s legacy forward,” says Lena Jiseborn, Design Director at Kasthall.

The seven new colors in the Greta family are: Autumn Bay, Black Forest, Early Spring, Nippon Rose, Summer Breeze, Tidal Foam and Winter Stream. Greta is also available in five original colors: Mountain Lake, Sage, Pebble Grey, Multi-light and Marble. For Kasthall, the question of color is a big part of the company’s DNA, and by expanding color choices in the Greta family, a popular classic is transformed into a contemporary favorite.

“Greta fulfills our desire to create and offer a color match for everyone. There’s always some color in our surroundings that we want to capture and incorporate, and that’s where Greta comes in,” says Lena.

Greta is woven in 100 percent wool and custom made to the desired dimensions, with a width of between 70 to 600 cm. Greta also works beautifully as an exclusive wall-to-wall carpet.
