Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Kasthall Tegel rug collection?

The Tegel collection was designed by David Chipperfield, the British architect awarded the Pritzker Prize in 2023. Known for his rigorous, material-driven practice, Chipperfield translated his architectural sensibility into a rug format organized around geometric color fields and spatial proportion.

What materials are used in the Tegel Centre 5?

The Tegel Centre 5 is crafted in a combination of wool and linen. Wool provides softness and depth of pile, while linen introduces a lighter, slightly lustrous quality that gives the surface its characteristic tonal variation.

What does 'bouclé' mean in the context of a tufted rug?

Bouclé refers to a looped yarn construction in which the pile is formed by uncut loops rather than cut fibers. In a tufted rug, this technique produces a textured, slightly nubbled surface with a tactile density distinct from flatweave or cut-pile constructions.

Is the Tegel Centre 5 available in custom sizes?

Yes, the Tegel Centre 5 is made to order and available in custom sizes. Kasthall's Swedish production facility has manufactured rugs to specification since 1889, making custom dimensions a core part of the brand's offering rather than an exception.

How does Kasthall's production heritage affect rug quality?

Founded in Sweden in 1889, Kasthall remains one of Scandinavia's foremost rug manufacturers, producing entirely in Sweden with close attention to fiber selection, construction method, and color development. That continuity of craft means each rug reflects accumulated knowledge about how materials behave over time.
