Description

Broschyr was created in the 1990s by Kasthall’s Head of Design Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg to show the endless possibilities of combining colors and patterns within a Kastall pattern family, The no-name rug was placed on the front page of a Kasthall catalogue that same year, thus the name, Broschyr – Swedish for brochure. After the rug was shown in the 90s, it has been woven in different color combinations over the years, so often that the rug has become a hallmark for Kasthall.

Depending on the natural materials used and the varied hand-crafted processes in production, dimensions of the rug may vary by up to 2%. Please contact Rarify for custom size ordering.

Backing is a treatment in which the underside of woven rugs is coated with acrylate adhesive. This stabilizes the rug and extends its life. It is recommended for woven rugs wider than 200 cm or larger than 6 square metres in area.

Underlay Is recommended for all Kasthall rugs and can be used on all types of flat floors. Underlay has a slightly self-adhesive surface that ensures the rug will not slip on the floor. Underlay can be used on floors with under-floor heating and can be washed at up to 30°C. The use of rug underlay extends the life of a rug.
