We are Kvadrat

Kvadrat was established in Denmark in 1968 and has deep roots in Scandinavia’s world-famous design tradition. A leader in design innovation, Kvadrat produces high-performance, design textiles, rugs, window covering and acoustic solutions for both commercial and residential interiors. 

Our products reflect our commitment to colour, quality, simplicity and innovation. We consistently push the aesthetic, technological and functional properties of textiles. In doing so, we collaborate with leading designers, architects and artists including: Patricia Urquiola, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Margrethe Odgaard, Alfredo Häberli, Doshi Levien, Giulio Ridolfo, Peter Saville, Pipilotti Rist, Thomas Demand and Olafur Eliasson.

Our Aspiration

At Kvadrat, we push the boundaries of high-quality textiles through design and innovation.

In doing so, we collaborate with a roster of world-leading creative talents to develop textile products that enrich people’s lives.

Design

For all our brands, we strive to develop products of high quality that enrich people's lives.

We are pioneers, always in motion and open-minded towards design and cooperation. Our approach to product development is defined by collaboration, curiosity, knowledge sharing, responsibility and consideration for the environment.

Our close collaboration with the world's finest artists, designers, architects and our manufacturing partners, enables us to push the boundaries of textile design and innovation. We continuously explore new ideas for the usage of materials and techniques in design and manufacturing.

We treasure colour as highly as we value collaboration. Reflecting this, we continuously refresh our approach to colour design, always striving to lead the way in this field.

Production

We own weaving mills in England, Norway and the Netherlands; this gives us tighter control on emissions, waste and resource use throughout the whole production and design process. In keeping with our belief that longevity is at the core of sustainable design, most of our textiles come with a 10-year warranty. Our textiles are made using only the best raw materials so that they are made to last and have the least possible impact on the environment.

Sustainability-minded from the start

From the beginning, respect for the environment has been a defining pillar at Kvadrat. In 1997 Kvadrat became ISO 14001 certified, and since then we have measured and assessed the environmental impact of all our products. Our Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmental Product Declaration EN15804 (EPD) model follows the ISO 14040 standards for life-cycle assessment. 

We use the latest technology to enhance the quality of our products and reduce their environmental impact. The majority of our woollen products have an EU Ecolabel (EU flower), meaning their sustainable profile is best-in-class. 

Contemporary culture

We actively contribute to contemporary culture and collaborate with some of the world's greatest creative talents. Our art and design collaborations are investigations in materiality and space.
