“Jive” Wool Rug by Catharina Dramborg for Kinnasand, 1990s

1990s Kinnasand “Jive” Wool Rug

A beautiful “Jive” wool rug, designed by Catharina Dramborg for Kinnasand in the 1990s. This example features a warm cream and soft beige palette, punctuated by repeated geometric motifs in blue, red, ochre and green and framed by a distinctive multicoloured geometric border.

The combination of a restrained neutral field with small, carefully positioned bursts of colour gives the rug a strong graphic presence while remaining exceptionally versatile within both vintage and contemporary interiors.

Kinnasand — A Historic Swedish Textile Company 

Kinnasand has its roots in Kinna, Sweden, where its mechanical weaving mill was established in 1873. Over the following century, the company developed from a traditional Swedish textile manufacturer into an internationally recognised producer of furnishing fabrics, carpets and interior textiles.

Throughout its history, Kinnasand became known for its emphasis on textile design, material quality and graphic pattern, collaborating with notable Scandinavian designers and developing collections for the international interiors market.

The Jive rug comes from this later period of Kinnasand's production and combines the company's textile heritage with the clean geometry and restrained decorative language associated with late 20th-century European interiors.

Pure New Wool and Geometric Design

Made from pure new wool, the Jive combines a luxurious tactile surface with a highly structured composition. Fifteen small geometric motifs are arranged across the central cream field, while layers of blue, turquoise and warm ochre form a strong architectural border.

At 175 × 241 cm, the rug is an ideal size for a living room, bedroom, study or beneath a dining setting. Its predominantly neutral palette allows it to work easily alongside Italian, Scandinavian and contemporary furniture, while the coloured detailing provides just enough contrast to give the piece its distinctive character.
