Greta 802 Marble
Made by Kasthall
Designed by Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg
Designed by Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg for Kasthall, Greta 802 Marble is a flatwoven rug that rewards close attention. Up to twelve differently colored wool threads are interwoven in a single pass, producing a surface whose tonal complexity shifts with light and angle.
The construction pairs a linen warp with a wool weft, a combination that lends the cloth its characteristic body: firm enough to anchor a room, soft enough underfoot to suggest comfort over utility. The marble reference is not literal. It is atmospheric, a suggestion of geological layering translated into fiber.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is flatweave construction in a wool rug?
Flatweave rugs are produced without a pile, weaving weft threads directly through a warp to create a thin, dense surface. The result is a rug with firm structure, defined texture, and a profile that works well under furniture or in high-traffic areas.
Who is Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg?
Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg served as Kasthall's creative director for over three decades, becoming one of Scandinavia's most respected textile designers. Her work is characterized by a restrained Nordic palette and a deep understanding of how color and fiber interact at the loom.
Is the Greta 802 Marble available in custom sizes?
Yes, the Greta 802 Marble is produced made to order, allowing custom dimensions to suit specific architectural or interior requirements. Lead times vary depending on specification.
How does a linen warp affect a wool rug's performance?
Linen provides a stable, dimensionally consistent foundation that resists stretching over time. Combined with a wool weft, it contributes to the rug's structural integrity while allowing the wool to express its natural softness and warmth on the surface.
How should a flatwoven wool rug be maintained?
Flatwoven wool rugs benefit from regular vacuuming without a beater bar, prompt attention to spills using a dry or lightly damp cloth, and periodic rotation to ensure even wear. Professional cleaning is recommended for deeper maintenance.
