Kvadrat Atlas Fabric

Designed by Margrethe Odgaard, Atlas is a woollen uphol­stery textile defined by its richly detailed mélange expres­sion and bold color exper­i­men­ta­tion. Created as a fresh take on tradi­tional mélanges, Atlas uses a unique construc­tion where two double-colored yarns — one in the warp, one in the weft — inter­act to create a pattern-like surface rather than a blended fiber mix.

This approach results in extra­or­di­nary color depth and complex­ity, with precise, vibrant nuances that shift subtly with light and perspec­tive. The textile’s name, Atlas, nods to the layered colors found in topo­graphic maps — each shade reveal­ing new terrain.

Odgaard care­fully selected 37 color­ways from more than 1,200 possi­bil­i­ties, combin­ing uncon­ven­tional hues to evoke both harmony and strik­ing contrasts. The palette spans from soft sorbets to deep, near-black tones infused with hints of color, making Atlas an ideal compan­ion for other mélanges and a versa­tile choice for bold or refined interiors.

Beyond aesthet­ics, Atlas also performs beau­ti­fully in use. Its soft, flex­i­ble struc­ture allows it to conform effort­lessly to furni­ture curves, simpli­fy­ing uphol­stery and enhancing comfort.

Suit­able for both commer­cial and resi­den­tial spaces, Atlas offers design­ers a dynamic tool for creat­ing tactile, color­ful envi­ron­ments with char­ac­ter and depth.
