Kasthall Goose Eye Anniversary
By Kasthall
Kasthall opens the celebration of its 135th anniversary year with a joyful tribute to color, design, and craftsmanship.
Goose Eye Anniversary, a special reinterpretation of the company’s iconic Goose Eye pattern, features five fresh hues and design updates such as a wider edging and effect yarns in chenille and bouclé. Crafted by Kasthall’s master rug makers in Kinna, Sweden, this anniversary edition arrives at a moment when rugs are enjoying a renaissance in interiors, and high-quality materials feel more relevant than ever.
Interpretation of a kasthall icon Each Kasthall rug tells a story, and the story of Goose Eye Anniversary starts even before Kasthall was founded in 1889. Variants of the Goose Eye pattern have been woven into Scandinavian design culture for centuries. Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg, Kasthall’s lead designer between 1987-2015, was inspired by ethnic fashion fabrics and traditional folk costumes when she adapted this historic pattern as a part of Häggå, a family of patterns brought to the Kasthall collection in the late 1980s. In 2014, she refined the design further by creating the Goose Eye Icon rug. Now, it’s time for a new interpretation.
