Wool is a natural and renewable material that grows without harsh chemicals. At Kvadrat, we prioritise animal welfare and only source certified anti-mulesing wool. Our textiles are crafted with the highest quality yarns from New Zealand and Australia, and locally sourced wool from the UK and Norway. By embracing local sourcing, we reduce emissions and enhance traceability. Wool is truly remarkable, offering natural water-repellent and flame-retardant properties, as well as flexibility, durability, and comfort. Also, many of our woollen textiles proudly carry the EU Ecolabel.
Suunta is a knitted upholstery inspired by the rows of blooms in Dutch flower fields. It is designed by Studio Truly Truly. The ribbed construction of Suunta – Finnish for ‘direction’– unites single lines of wool and recycled polyester of different hues in a knitted jacquard stitch.
Inspired by the concept of ‘soft modernism’, Naveli is a pure woollen upholstery textile designed by Doshi Levien. The textile features a precise micro-check construction and it is woven with both thick and thin yarns in different colours, which creates playful, delicate deviations in texture and depth.
