Kvadrat Encircle Fabric
for Kvadrat
Encircle, designed by Karin an Rijlaarsdam for Kvadrat is a sculptural upholstery textile with a meticulous expression. It explores the delicate irregularities of natural surfaces and landscapes inspired by the crafts of Grand-Bassam, Côte d’Ivoire. Encircle unites a naturally irregular bouclé yarn and a plain-dyed background yarn. This construction gives the upholstery a detailed look: intricate irregular circles appear to pop out of its surface. Like leaves, each one is unique.

“I am obsessed by textures; exploring a soft 3-dimensional texture with a handmade feeling for a textile design or a smooth ultra-matte and natural finish for a lighting fixture excites me. The texture defines the skin that brings the object alive. It is generous and represents its uniqueness and personality.” – Karin An Rijlaarsdam
