Product description

Palf’s elegant, hand-woven look, supple yet stable touch, and vivid, irregular surface showcases the aesthetic possibilities of bio-based materials. It is woven with pineapple leaf fibre (PALF), traditionally discarded pineapple leaves, and lyocell produced in a closed loop process. Pineapple leaf fibre is a natural and renewable fibre extracted from the long leaves of the pineapple plant, a byproduct of fruit cultivation.

Palf comes in a scale of colours ranging from soothing neutrals to more verdant hues. These recall its regenerative source materials, subtly referencing how natural byproducts can be transformed into a new textile expression.

Performance
  • LightFastness {{site.selectedConfiguration.lightFastness}}

    ISO 105-B02

    Lightfastness relates to the ability of a textile to retain its colour under light. When testing for lightfastness, samples are exposed to artificial daylight for a specified period.

    The evaluation scale ranges from 1 (worst) to 8 (best). An increase of one point corresponds to a doubling of the lightfastness, i.e. the same fading takes twice as long.

Care instructions curtain textiles

Regular cleaning is important in order to keep the curtain textile looking its best and to prolong its life. Dust and dirt wear down the textile and also reduce its fire-retardant properties.

  • Regular care

    If possible, we recommend washing curtains once a year. If used heavily, a more frequent cleaning may be appropriate. All curtain fabrics by Kvadrat and Sahco are supplied with a care label. We recommend the use of detergent without optical bleach for all items in which, according to care instructions, washing is possible. Please take into account a possible shrinkage between 1–4 %. It is always possible to wash at a lower temperature that the one specified for light soiling. Please contact a professional dry cleaner if dry cleaning is the only option for maintenance. A professional dry cleaner may also assist in working out maintenance schedules which ensure that the fabrics are maintained properly so that a good indoor climate and maximum duration of the curtains are achieved.
