Kvam

At our mill in Røros, we weave each wool throw from Norwegian lambswool, building the pattern directly into the textile. The jacquard construction allows colour and pattern to reverse from one side to the other, while brushing lifts the wool fibres to give the finished throw a softer, fuller surface.

We have produced wool textiles in Røros since 1940, and the same material and weaving knowledge continues to inform how each throw is made today.

 

Kvam is designed by Kristine Five Melvær around the structural possibilities of jacquard weaving. Its geometry is shaped by what can be constructed directly through the loom rather than applied to the textile afterwards. The resulting motif brings together references to Norwegian textile tradition and Japanese pattern-making through a shared interest in repetition and structure.
