Kvadrat Twill Weave Fabric
for Kvadrat
Crafted by American designer Jonathan Olivares, Twill Weave from Kvadrat brings a contemporary interpretation to the classic woolen twill upholstery textile.
Twill Weave derives its robust structure from thick, voluminous woolen yarns. It is constructed with a traditional twill binding, using meticulous production processes to ensure exceptional color precision.
Each colorway for Twill Weave has two tone-in-tone colors – one in the warp, the other in the weft. These combine to accurately reflect the colors of minerals, metals, and ceramics from Harvard University’s extensive Materials Collection.
