Esther 55 Grey
Made by Kasthall
Designed by Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg
Esther 55 Grey is a woven bouclé rug designed by Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg, whose long collaboration with Kasthall has produced some of the most recognized Swedish textiles in contemporary interiors. The design draws its character from the close-cropped fleece of sheep, a natural reference that gives the curly bouclé yarn its distinctive, softly irregular surface.
The rug is produced entirely at Kasthall's mill in Kinna, Sweden, where the yarn is developed and woven with the same methods the company has refined over more than a century. Wool and linen are combined in nuanced proportions, creating a marbled quality that reads differently across changing light throughout the day.
- Bouclé construction in wool and linen
- Woven at Kasthall's factory in Kinna, Sweden
- Suitable as an area rug or wall-to-wall carpeting
- Available in custom sizes made to order
The grey palette is composed rather than flat, with tonal variation that gives the surface depth and warmth. It works as a calm foundation in residential and hospitality environments alike, from bedrooms and living spaces to offices and public interiors where acoustic and tactile quality matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are used in the Kasthall Esther rug?
The Esther rug is woven from a combination of wool and linen, with a curly bouclé yarn that Kasthall develops and produces at its own mill in Kinna, Sweden. The blend gives the surface both warmth and a subtle sheen.
Can the Esther 55 Grey be ordered in a custom size?
Yes. Kasthall produces the Esther collection as a made-to-order rug, and custom dimensions are available for both area rug and wall-to-wall carpeting applications. Lead times vary depending on the specification.
Who designed the Kasthall Esther rug?
Esther was designed by Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg, one of Scandinavia's most respected textile designers. Her decades-long collaboration with Kasthall has shaped the brand's identity in woven and tufted floor coverings.
Is the Esther rug suitable for commercial or hospitality use?
The Esther rug is woven to a quality appropriate for both residential and contract environments. Its construction as wall-to-wall carpeting or a fitted area rug makes it practical for hospitality spaces, offices, and public interiors.
How does bouclé yarn affect the feel and durability of the rug?
Bouclé yarn has a looped, curly structure that creates a textured surface with natural resilience underfoot. In wool and linen, this construction also provides acoustic softening and holds its form well over time with proper care.
