Linking past and present.⁠ ⁠ Born and raised in California, Ian Markell has drawn on archive imagery from the West Coast countercultural movements of the 1960s, combining them with Kvadrat textiles in a new series of large-scale, wall-mounted collages. Through their materials and subject matter, the works offer an open-ended meditation on sustainability: how it is understood, historicised and marketed, and how it has been perceived in the past. ⁠ ⁠ Explore Chime by Ian Markell via link in bio.⁠ ⁠ @ianmarkell⁠ #kvadrattextiles #IanMarkell #ReThink #kvadratcreate

Referencing patchwork quilts and crafts of 1960s counterculture.⁠ ⁠ “In the United States, a country based on convenience and hyper-individuality, we particularly need to reconsider the sustainability conversation. Sustainability is a part of life and a mindset. It is a way of experiencing the world, through rethinking, recycling, representing and reconsidering – it involves a circularity and way of thinking that needs to become a larger part of our ecosystem.” – Ian Markell.⁠ ⁠ Explore Chime by Ian Markell via link in bio.⁠ ⁠ @ianmarkell⁠ #kvadrattextiles #IanMarkell #ReThink #kvadratcreate

Chime by Ian Markell.⁠ ⁠ Referencing the patchwork quilts and crafts of 1960s counterculture, Ian Markell’s tactile series of artworks blend materials, printing images on Kvadrat textiles reminiscent of newsprint.

The creative vision.⁠ ⁠ “I felt that the Japanese philosophy of not throwing away items and instead using them beautifully for a long time was in line with the characteristics of Ame. I focused on layering colours and adapting the delicate precision of Sashiko to modern weaving techniques.” – Teruhiro Yanagihara on designing Ame.⁠ ⁠ Explore Ame via link in bio.⁠ ⁠ @teruhiroyanagiharastudio @teruhiroyanagihara ⁠ #kvadrattextiles #TeruhiroYanagihara #ReThink #sustainability #recycledpolyester

Closing the loop.⁠ ⁠ Ame by Teruhiro Yanagihara, our new textile-to-textile recycled polyester is crafted from textile waste and offers the same performance as virgin polyester. The textile waste is first collected, sorted, and shredded, before being recycled using a depolymerisation technology. It is then purified from any chemicals and dyes, repolymerised into polyester chips and spun into yarn. This circular process closes the loop within the textile lifecycle.⁠ ⁠ Learn more about Ame via link in bio.⁠ ⁠ @teruhiroyanagiharastudio @teruhiroyanagihara ⁠ #kvadrattextiles #TeruhiroYanagihara #ReThink #sustainability #recycledpolyester

Pioneering research and development.⁠ ⁠ Ame represents five years of dedicated research and development by the Kvadrat Innovation Lab. Crafted entirely from textile waste, Ame is our first textile-to-textile recycled polyester upholstery textile that matches the performance of virgin polyester.⁠ ⁠ Learn more about Ame via link in bio.⁠ ⁠ @teruhiroyanagiharastudio @teruhiroyanagihara ⁠ #kvadrattextiles #TeruhiroYanagihara #ReThink #sustainability #recycledpolyester #textiletotextile

Typologies: The Optimist.⁠ ⁠ Open 0014 featuring bespoke stitching.⁠ ⁠ Open is a super-natural, lively and casual plain with an artisanal spirit. Due to the sophisticated use of hemp in the curtain’s pure material composition, the crispness and slight irregularities of the alternating yarns show up and bring out the specific character of the material.⁠ ⁠ Explore the Optimist via link in bio.⁠ ⁠ #kvadrattextiles #Typologies #curtain #textile #design

Riding waves of social impact, one board at a time.⁠ ⁠ Empowering youth through eco-friendly fun, María-Elena Pombo, founder of Fragmentario, created skateboards from textile waste for the ReThink design project. Using Kvadrat Really’s Textile Board, which replaces lumber with textile waste to create a new aesthetic, these skateboards serve for recreation and transport in Barquisimeto, Venezuela, a city facing petrol shortages.⁠ ⁠ Explore Asignatura: Patineta by Fragmentario via link in bio. ⁠ ⁠ @fragmentario_⁠ @kvadratreally #kvadrattextiles #Fragmentario #ReThink #kvadratcreate

From waste to wheels. ⁠ ⁠ Breaking barriers, one kickflip at a time, Fragmentario’s Asignatura: Patineta reimagines the Textile Board by Kvadrat Really, a hardboard material made from end-of-life textiles, as a skateboard. The project’s title brings together ‘asignatura’, which is Spanish for class, with ‘patineta’, Spanish for skateboard.⁠ ⁠ Explore Asignatura: Patineta by Fragmentario via link in bio. ⁠ ⁠ @fragmentario_⁠ @kvadratreally #kvadrattextiles #Fragmentario #ReThink #kvadratcreate
