Kvadrat Apparel Fabric

Apparel is a knitted uphol­stery textile designed by Amster­dam-based textile studio BYBORRE for Kvadrat Febrik, drawing inspi­ra­tion from the world of fashion.

Set against a back­drop of broken diag­o­nal stitch­ing, Apparel reveals a layered, abstract pattern derived from garment construc­tion blue­prints. These shapes create a dynamic visual rhythm that becomes espe­cially expres­sive on large-scale furniture.

Apparel’s distinc­tive padded texture comes from thick poly­ester yarns inserted between two knitted layers, paired with a soft wool surface that offers both comfort and visual depth. From afar, it appears as a subtle mélange, but up close, it reveals a complex inter­play of over­lap­ping forms and colors.

Each color­way is created using three unicol­ored yarns in varying shades, result­ing in rich, dimen­sional hues. The palette includes earthy neutrals, deep blues, and satu­rated reds — designed for versa­til­ity and ideal for pairing with solid textiles.

True to its knitted nature, Apparel offers gener­ous stretch and is partic­u­larly suited for uphol­ster­ing curved or organic shapes. Its plush struc­ture makes it best suited for resi­den­tial settings or low-traffic commercial interiors.
