ReThink is the sixth edition of Kvadrat’s Design Projects.
Through a series of works by 12 emerging and established creatives, ReThink explores the potential of our textiles as a medium for expression.
Ame is an upholstery textile designed by Teruhiro Yanagihara that embodies longevity and mindful reuse in its construction and aesthetic. It is the first Kvadrat textile woven with recycled polyester made entirely from textile waste, and features a design inspired by Sashiko, a traditional Japanese mending technique.
Typologies unfolds the diversity and potential of the Residential collection and draws attention to exciting new viewpoints. Classified as four styles with matching interior scenarios and colour concepts, Typologies illustrates how shifting perspectives can reinvent the familiar.
