Quilt, designed by Ellinor Eliasson for Kasthall, is a hand-tufted rug in pure wool and linen. Its surface is both cut and looped to different heights that meet in patches of color. The inspiration for the complex patterns of the rugs is partly taken from the Japanese Boro patchwork technique. Ellinor Eliasson was also influenced by Anni Albers and Sheila Hicks, the complex textiles they created and how they used color and shape to create new nuances. “The project’s central theme has been to create new, unique expressions. I wanted to create a tufted rug, but with the image of a woven rug” says Ellinor Eliasson. The result is a complex composition with many colors, shapes and textures - an innovative rug that stands out and shows the uniqueness of Kasthall. Quilt is available in two color schemes: Bronze Green and Terracotta Sand.
