Kvadrat Divina Mélange 3 Fabric

Divina Mélange 3 from Kvadrat is a vibrant piece-dyed woolen uphol­stery textile remi­nis­cent of felt. Cheer­fully simple, it comes in a fresh, versa­tile palette by artist and designer Finn Sködt. Compact, comfort­able, and extremely smooth, Divina Mélange 3 expresses colors and the shape of furni­ture partic­u­larly well. It is constructed by weaving the yarn in a simple binding, after which it is subjected to pres­sure and high temper­a­tures. This milling process, which is often asso­ci­ated with fine tailor­ing, trans­forms the mate­r­ial from coarse to a soft and uniform, felt-like surface.

Produced by piece-dyeing a dark or light grey mélange, the textile’s color palette perfectly reflects Finn Sködt’s pure aesthetic. The new color scale combines signa­ture nuances, such as hot pink, forest green, and Finn Sködt’s favorite ultra­ma­rine, together with chalky notes and neutral shades. These are metic­u­lously picked from the designer’s exten­sive color library of hand-painted samples, docu­ment­ing the colors that he has used in his paint­ings for decades.
