Kvadrat: The importance of textiles

Textiles make an impression and create an atmosphere. They influence our perception of furniture and space. When we interact with furniture, upholstery and rugs complete the experience. Kvadrat is attuned to the appearance and function of textiles, to create a product that takes part in and influences modern design culture.

Constantly pushing the boundaries of textiles and of modern and contemporary design whether it be aesthetic, technological or artistic by working closely with designers, architects and artists from the likes of Raf Simons, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Patricia Urquiola, Tord Boontje and Akira Minagawa to achieve this.

A light in darkness.. .

The ‘Mayuhana Ma’ black lamp by Toyo Ito for Yamagiwa; ‘it is the quintessential quality of light found in Japan that reminds me of ‘in praise of shadows’ by Junichiro Tanizaki,’ says the Japanese architect. Originally designed in white, the black version refers to the japanese kanji character ‘真(MA)’, which means true or genuine — thus the creation of a darker, deeper more profound coloured lamp that embodies the tonal qualities of ‘墨(SUMI)’ which refers to Japanese calligraphy ink.

Explore Sampei


The Davide Groppi Sampei floor lamp is simple yet architecturally striking. Winner of the 2014 Premio Compasso d'Oro, Sampei is the idea of a sign in the space, the idea of putting the light on the floor and on the table. A grass blade which swings and flexes even under the weight of a glance.
Simple and performing at the same time. The lighting source, tiny and adjustable, is not proportional but poetic.

Finished in fibreglass black or white. Provided with a transparent cable and available in four sizes.
