canvas 2 - Karakter (FG1)
Design, Giulio Ridolfo for Kvadrat
90% new worsted wool, 10% nylon, 100,000 Martindale
Canvas is a vibrant woollen upholstery textile created by Giulio Ridolfo. Particularly well-suited to large surfaces thanks to its pronounced structure, it features a soft weave and an expanded palette inspired by the landscapes of Skagen, Denmark. The melange yarn used to craft Canvas combines three colors, with six hues in every colorway. Consequently, the textile offers exceptional color richness and an intriguing expression. From a distance, it has the calm surface of a unicolored textile. But, get closer, and shimmering color nuances, delicate contrasts and an elegant structure emerge.
