Description

Røros Tweed's Kvam cushion, designed by Kristine Five Melvær, is a treat for the senses. The distinctive, almost illusion-like pattern draws inspiration from the process of weaving – the grid pattern represents the vertical and horizontal yarns or threads of the weave and evokes images of both traditional Norwegian and Japanese motifs. Made from Norwegian sheep’s wool and filled with duck feathers, the luxuriously soft Kvam cushion is a beautiful and practical addition to both a sofa and the bed – and also makes a great gift idea.

High-quality home textiles by the Norwegian Røros Tweed are made from 100% Norwegian lambswool, shorn from sheep living free in the mountains. The manufacturing process is also kept fully in Norway to maintain high standards, which have been essential to the company's continued success since the 1940s.
