Kvadrat Febrik

Kvadrat Febrik specialises in the art of knitted textiles, bringing a secular technique, typically associated with fashion, into the realm of upholstery textiles. By pooling ideas, yarn expertise and logistical strength, we create pioneering knitted designs characterised by aesthetic and functional excellence.

Our knitted textiles feature exceptional designs and surfaces, showcasing distinctive aesthetic qualities and design opportunities.

Knitted textiles offer a soft texture and inherent stretch, making them comfortable to the touch and very versatile. They can help transform any product or project into something truly unique.

Through continuous development and research, we can ensure that our knitted upholstery textiles deliver advanced technical performance, adapting to meet emerging requirements for performance, durability, and sustainability.

Benefits

Knitted textiles possess numerous benefits, making them a versatile choice for various applications. Their adaptability and distinctive aesthetic appeal, enhance the overall look and feel of any product. Whether for upholstery, panel fabrics or other projects, knitted textiles combine style, comfort, and practicality at once.

Versatile applications

Knitted textiles are suitable for a wide range of applications, including verticals. Their stretchability allows for a seamless expression with minimal lines of stitching and cuts, making them perfect for organic shapes. Beyond upholstery and vertical applications, they’re suitable for headboards, throws, runners, pillows, accessories, and electronic devices.

Inherent stretch

Our knitted textiles are formed with interconnected loops that stretch in all directions. Consequently, they quickly regain their original shape upon release of pressure. The inherent stretch of knitted textiles allows for faster processing. As the knitted textile moulds and corrects during upholstery, production costs are minimised.

Distinctive textures

Our knitted textiles offer a unique 3D expression with a comfortable touch. Their distinctive texture is due to the knitting technique, as the arrangement of knitting loops creates a rich, voluminous and incredibly comfortable surface. Collaborating with top designers, our knitted textile collection features standout designs that transform any product or project into something exceptional.

Acoustic value

Heavy, padded knitted textiles offer good sound absorption properties while flatter textiles are better when acoustic transparency is needed. Reflecting this, our knitted textiles offer a compelling combination of aesthetic and acoustic performance for vertical applications.

Durable

Our collection of knitted textiles excels in durability, making them well-suited for contract use. This is attributed to their production through a specialised spinning process, providing the robust functional benefits inherent in wool. The top layers of knitted textiles primarily consist of wool compounds. Wool offers all the benefits of using natural fibres, such as hard-wearing, dirt repellent, flame retardant and very soft.

Environmental

We constantly explore how we can lower the impact of our product development processes, by focusing on more energy-efficient methods and raw materials. For instance, to reduce our consumption of resources, water (including rainwater) is reused during the production of our knitted textiles.

Working with the world's most talented designers, we continually push boundaries and explore the possibilities of textile design. Our products reflect the diverse skills and knowledge of our designers who come from the worlds of textiles, product and fashion design, architecture and art.
