"Nature always plays a role, often unintentionally." - Cecilie Manz

Crafted from wool and linen, Ålegræs is a hand-tufted rug in a unique oval shape. Ålegræs features three different pile heights that create a seagrass-like texture with a three-dimensional effect. Drawing inspiration from the intricate beauty of nature, it has a lively surface framed by a contrasting bouclé border that adds bold definition and elegance.

The Landskab collection is a series of rugs designed by the renowned Danish designer Cecilie Manz. This collection blends Kasthall's 135-year legacy of superior craftsmanship with Manz's forward-thinking and innovative design approach. When Kasthall invited Cecilie Manz to collaborate, she "warned" that she wouldn't design loud, attention-seeking rugs but whispering, expressive ones in their simplicity. A collection that reflects her connection to nature and her love for natural materials. The collection is called 'Landskap' as a reference to the rugs' various textures, colors, and heights. Manz is well-known for her unique aesthetic, characterized by simplicity, purity, and functionality. Her designs express a sense of sensitivity and sensuality, qualities also evident in these rugs.

Sustainability is rooted in Kasthall's history from the beginning and continues today in their work and ambition to contribute to a sustainable future. They use a circular approach to design and a fully-traceable supply chain to reduce the impact on people and planet. It is part of their commitment to local Swedish production and a made-to-order system that creates less waste. Kasthall uses third-party environmental declarations and assessment to ensure reliability.

The rug is made from pure wool yarn (77%) and linen (23%). Custom sizes are available, please contact Hive for assistance ordering sizes not shown online.
