Kvadrat celebrates an icon

With a design that traces back to 1965, and one that remains among the Danish company Kvadrat's best sellers, Hallingdal 65 was the focus of an exhibition during ICFF. Designed by Nanna Ditzel, the wool-and-viscose textile captures the best of each material, which are both dyed before they are spun for added color depth. It is available in 58 colors ranging from neutrals to brights with contrasting warp and weft. It's been used as the upholstery on the Copenhagen public transit since it was first introduced. Kvadrat's textiles are available through Maharam in the U.S., at the DDB. A screen, titled Play, by Stephen Burks, is pictured above.

The Jil Sander shop in SoHo was the sight of a temporary exhibition during ICFF. The original exhibition (pictured below), on view in April in Milan during Salone del Mobile, brought together curators and designers from around the world to reimagine the iconic textile, with 32 pieces on view.



A capsule of those, including Jonathan Olivares's Chaise (below), were on view in NYC.



In case you missed both of the exhibitions, now you can say you've seen at least some of the creativity displayed!
