Kvadrat Relate by Patricia Urquiola

Relate is a sophisticated twill weave upholstery textile designed by Patricia Urquiola made from Trevira CS, which has a soft hand resembling natural fibres.

A faux-uni, Relate looks monochromatic at first glance but, under closer inspection, reveals a dense diagonal weave that unites two different unicoloured yarns which seemingly melt together. The textile’s compact twill-woven construction subtly references the world of fashion and captures a sense of movement.

Patricia Urquiola: “I wanted to play with colours and rethink the concept of melange. Together with Kvadrat, we chose to pair hues that are very close in the colour scale to give much more volume to the texture, which results in a monochromatic effect.”
