Virvel originates from a wall-to-wall rug design by Ulla Ericson-Åström, rediscovered in the Kasthall archives and reintroduced as part of the Kasthall Tufted Originals. Its swirling pattern is formed by an unruly pile with protruding wool and linen threads, giving the surface a lively, tactile movement. Named after the Swedish word for “swirl,” Virvel lets material and structure drive the expression.

Fact-based, measurable, and continuously improving sustainability work:
Sustainability and social responsibility have been part of Kasthall's operations since 1889. Today, the company's sustainability work is structured through measurable targets, documented performance, and systematic due diligence across its value chain.

As a manufacturer of woven and tufted rugs, Kasthall recognizes that its environmental and social impact extends beyond its own production facilities. A significant share of this impact occurs upstream – in fiber production, spinning, dyeing, and transport. The company's responsibility therefore includes both operational performance and active supplier engagement.

Durable craft:
Kasthall creates rugs designed to last, shaped by Swedish craftsmanship.

Conscious consumption:
Kasthall contributes to conscious consumption through documented sustainability credentials.

Maintaining a woven, tufted, or wall-to-wall carpet from Kasthall is essential for preserving its appearance, durability, and long-term performance.

Regular vacuuming is the most effective, economical, and environmentally friendly method for everyday care, while removing dirt and stains helps prevent fiber wear and keeps colors looking fresh.
Light, solid-color rugs generally require more frequent attention than darker, patterned designs.

Following appropriate maintenance routines, as seen in the Care and Cleaning guide, ensures that Kasthall rugs in both private and professional environments retain their shape, quality, and beauty for many years.

All Kasthall rugs are made from natural fibers, so slight variations in color, texture, and dimensions may occur between yarn batches.
