Designed by Patricia Urquiola, the upholstery textiles in the In Nature We Trust collection feature a tactile surface that emerges through the digitisation of natural textures. Both textiles are suitable for use in commercial and residential spaces.
Upholsteries
Forestview is a woollen upholstery textile by Patricia Urquiola with an intricate, tactile surface and an omnidirectional, multicoloured pattern evoking Alpine forests. Inspired by patterns found in arboreal structures, Forestview digitises and recreates the veins found in wood through advanced jacquard weaving techniques and a sophisticated colour system. Forestview unites strong functional performance with a soft hand and is suitable for a variety of commercial and residential applications.
The palette for Forestview comprises a scale of colourways ranging from light to dark, uniting gentle tones such as wheat, cream and brown with burnt pinks and bold blues. Each colourway is composed of five yarn colours: a thicker yarn in the dominant tone gives the surface its primary hue and thinner yarns in different colours create vibrant depth. The effect is almost like a digitised mélange - as you look at the textile, you notice eye-catching dots of bold colour emerging from the ‘forest’.
Regos is a knitted upholstery textile by Patricia Urquiola.
The design of Regos explores the concept of digitised natural textures and the codification of textile techniques.
The dynamic, graphic motif and tactile surface is achieved through a two-tone, double-knit construction.
The versatile palette for Regos unites delicate neutral tones with accents of bold blues and green. All twelve colourways feature a black or white base paired with a contrasting accent colour. Where the contrast is more pronounced, the textile takes on a striking, graphic appearance, while the more subtle contrasts deliver a softer, organic look.
Regos is crafted in the Netherlands using a locally produced filling yarn, primarily made from Kvadrat Febrik’s own post-industrial waste. The dynamic, graphic motif and tactile surface is achieved through a two-tone, double-knit construction. The front of the textile is constructed with a yarn-dyed wool, whilst the backside is crafted with a yarn-dyed recycled polyester made from PET bottles.
Innovatively, the inlaid spun yarn is made from 60% recycled textile waste from Kvadrat Febrik’s own production in the Netherlands. The remaining 40% is crafted from postconsumer recycled polyester from PET bottles, which stabilises the textile fibres to create a durable and resilient yarn. The textile waste is collected, sorted and pressed into bales. It is then mechanically recycled into fibres and combined with the recycled polyester fibres, before being spun into a yarn, ready for use in a new textile.
Regos’ innovative composition and distinctive surface suit all contract and residential applications.
Its excellent elasticity ensures easy upholstery on all forms of furniture, particularly lounge chairs and sofas.
