Kasthall

What Kasthall does

Kasthall is a privately held Swedish textile flooring manufacturer founded in 1889 and headquartered at its production mill in Kinna, Sweden. The company designs, develops, and produces handcrafted woven and tufted rugs (155+ woven SKUs and 135+ tufted SKUs), wall-to-wall broadloom carpeting, and bespoke custom projects, with all production vertically integrated from yarn spinning and in-house color recipe creation to finished weaving and tufting under one roof. Its product portfolio includes core woven lines (Checkerboard Icon, Goose Eye Icon, Broschyr, Vichy, Post Icon) and signature designer collaborations such as Atlas and Bonbon with Barber Osgerby and the Landskab collection with Cecilie Manz, employing proprietary techniques like double-weft construction and triple-shuttle looped edges.

Kasthall generates revenue primarily through one-time rug sales (standard collection sizes from €900 to €3,500 per piece) and professional services via Kasthall Atelier, its bespoke design offering that delivers quote-based custom rug solutions for specific architectural projects. Distribution combines owned retail concept stores and showrooms in Stockholm, Malmö, New York, Milan, and Seoul; direct e-commerce through kasthall.com; a Kasthall Selection ready-to-ship tier with 5-working-day delivery; and a global network of approximately 200+ authorized premium retailers and dealers across more than 30 countries. Made-to-order products carry an 8-week delivery lead time and a 10-year residential warranty.

The company serves six primary customer segments — Hospitality Interiors, Retail Interiors, Workspaces, Private Residences, Civic and Cultural Spaces, and Heritage Interiors — with named enterprise and institutional references including Salesforce, Adobe, Acne Studios, COS, Vitra, Hotel Principe di Forte dei Marmi, AIRA (Michelin-starred restaurant), the Swedish Embassy in Washington, and Nordiska Museet. It holds a Royal Warrant as supplier to the Swedish Royal Court, is part of the NOD – Network of Design Nordic design group, and maintains OEKO-Tex Standard 100, Masters of Linen, EU REACH compliance, and Science Based Targets initiative commitments.
