Archipelago 200 March
Made by Kasthall
Designed by Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg
Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg has spent decades translating the quieter rhythms of the natural world into woven form. The Archipelago 200 March belongs to that sustained inquiry, drawing its palette and surface character from the seasonal shifts of the Swedish island landscape, where light, water, and shoreline exist in constant, gentle flux.
Constructed from wool and linen, the rug carries a layered texture that rewards close attention. Fine threads of Lurex are woven through the pile, catching and releasing light with a restraint that feels geological rather than decorative. The result is a surface that reads differently across the day, shifting from matte warmth in low light to a faint luminosity when the room brightens.

How does Lurex affect the look and feel of a wool rug?
