About Kvadrat Shade

Kvadrat Shade offers an aesthetically outstanding, versatile roller blind solution, leveraging Kvadrat’s leadership in textile and design innovation. Crafted in collaboration with Coulisse, the global leading supplier of window covering products and metallised fabric specialist Verosol, and creative talents, this enables architects to complete any design theme and optimise visual, acoustic or thermal comfort – or a combination of all three.

Reflecting a commitment to longevity, simplicity and premium-quality materials, the Kvadrat Shade hardware is designed by Erwan and Ronan Bouroullec, while Kvadrat is responsible for the design and production of the textiles. Kvadrat Shade completes this offering with end-to-end expert support that includes the advantages of Kvadrat’s global network. In addition, our preferred partnership with Somfy ensures you get local support covering motorisation and automisation.
