There are 4 articles (590, 591, 592. 593) produced by Kvadrat.

590
590 is created to deliver a pioneering mélange look that compliments the existing mélanges in the Kvadrat collection, with a construction that unites two different coloured yarns – each of which combines two colours – in the warp and the weft.

Unlike other mélanges, the colours are not blended in the fibres. Instead they are expressed, pattern-like, through the structure of the material. As a result, the textile offers exceptional colour intensity and intricate colour details. more information
