Storylines by Kvadrat

The line is the essence of creativity. Kvadrat’s residential curtain collection, Storylines, imagines thread as the line, yarn as the syntax and textile as the story. Bringing a narrator’s eye to these concepts, the collection explore intervals between texture, pattern and colour.

Movement ebbs and flows through Storylines. Whether cut, shrunk, soft-washed or colour-printed, the curtains express sensuous graphic and tactile dimensions, which subtly manipulate each other. Seen from inside a space, lines emerge from the curtains as sculptural drapes, cascading stripes, and vibrant pleats. When looking out, lines and colours diffuse and transform into constellations.

Storylines comprises a selection of plains, pleats and patterns in a wide range of weights, from diaphanous to dim out. The collection features a spectrum of yarns, ranging from voluminous and richly textured twists to ultra-fine metal. Shaping the experience of this diversity, meticulous weaving constructions and finishes create curious parallels with lines of dialogue.

Storylines’ refined palette of materials and compositions are crafted exclusively from natural or fabricated fibres. Some designs are woven with pure linen or soft new wool; others consist of organic cotton and comfortable viscose mixed with linen, as well as flame retardant man-made fibres woven to resemble the character of flax.

The atmospheric palette for Storylines takes cues from natural light and midnight skies. A complete scale of contrasting nuances, it spans neutrals and modern pastels, along with saturated and muted tones, including almost black accents.

Together with the changing light, the collection unveils eye-catching rhythmic lines and prismatic colour dynamics throughout the day. Multidimensional materiality becomes the medium for storytelling, as surprising new narratives continuously emerge.

The collection comprises 18 premium quality curtains. Characterised by outstanding craftsmanship, meticulous attention to detail and tactile structures, these are crafted from the finest materials by world-leading manufacturers and artisans. Designed by Creative Director Isa Glink and her team, the collection is typified by sensual surfaces, individual colours and sophisticated construction techniques.
