Ida immediately appealed to us for the strength and clarity of its pattern. There is something distinctly architectural about its repeating geometry, yet the natural wool and woven construction prevent it from ever feeling hard or overly precise.
We particularly like the balance between tradition and modernity. Its roots lie in rölakan weaving, but the scale, colour and rhythm give Ida a confidently contemporary presence. It can anchor a room without overwhelming it, bringing pattern, warmth and structure to otherwise quiet interiors.
Like all Kasthall rugs in our collection, Ida is chosen not simply as a decorative surface but as a considered part of the room.

Ida is available in four seasonal colourways:
280 Spring · 680 Summer · 780 Autumn · 580 Winter
Each combines several tones within the woven pattern, allowing colour to shift across the rug while retaining the strong underlying geometry of the design.
Samples are available if you would like to see a colour alongside your flooring, furniture or other finishes before ordering.
Contact us to request a sample or for help choosing a colour.

For woven rugs wider than 200 cm or larger than 6 m², Kasthall recommends adding backing. This treatment is applied to the underside of the rug to improve stability and help extend its life.
A separate rug underlay can also help keep the rug securely in position, protect the floor beneath and reduce movement and wear.
Contact us if you are unsure whether backing or underlay is appropriate for your chosen size.

Designed by Kasthall Design Studio, Ida draws on Scandinavian and wider weaving traditions, with particular reference to the flat-woven rölakan technique.
Its geometric composition begins as a detailed drawing that is followed line by line at the loom. Each change of colour is manually guided, demanding the weaver's continual attention as the pattern develops. The result combines the precision and repetition of a drawn geometry with the subtle variation that comes from natural materials and skilled hand-guided making.
Each rug is woven to order at Kasthall's mill in Kinna, Sweden, where the company has been producing rugs since 1889.

Regular vacuuming is the best way to remove everyday dirt and help preserve the appearance and structure of your rug. Spills and stains should be dealt with promptly and appropriate professional cleaning used when deeper cleaning is required.
As Ida is made from natural fibres, small variations in colour, texture and dimensions are part of the character of the material and may occur between yarn batches.
Kasthall provides a 10-year residential warranty for its woven and tufted rugs.
If you need advice on cleaning or caring for your Kasthall rug, contact us before treating a stain with an unfamiliar product.
