Field 2 is an expres­sive uphol­stery textile by Alfredo Häberli, defined by its intri­cate check­ered pattern and compelling color combi­na­tions. Inspired by Kvadrat’s iconic Halling­dal 65, this updated edition intro­duces 22 fresh color­ways that high­light Häberli’s mastery in uniting subtle contrasts and bold pairings.

Woven with a double weft and warp using unicol­ored yarns, Field 2 reveals a complex surface that shifts in char­ac­ter with prox­im­ity. From afar, it reads as a calm, unified textile — but up close, its detailed pattern and vibrant inter­play of tones emerge with surprising clarity.

Working with man-made fibers, Häberli has skill­fully side­stepped the typical limi­ta­tions of mélange effects by creat­ing nuanced color­ways through refined combi­na­tions. Unex­pected pair­ings — such as mint with dusty pink or earthen brown with elec­tric blue — lend each version a distinctive personality.

The palette includes sophis­ti­cated alter­na­tives to classic neutrals, offer­ing deep hues like olive green, midnight grey, and dark navy as expres­sive yet versa­tile anchors. This thought­ful approach brings warmth and indi­vid­u­al­ity to contract and private interiors alike.

Durable, flame-retar­dant, and visu­ally engag­ing, Field 2 is a confi­dent fusion of textile inno­va­tion and chro­matic sophis­ti­ca­tion — ideal for appli­ca­tions where perfor­mance and aesthetic impact go hand in hand.

Alfredo Häberli

Argentina

Alfredo Häberli is an internationally acclaimed designer known for combining tradition with innovation, playfulness with precision. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1964, he moved to Switzerland in 1977 and later graduated in Industrial Design from the Höhere Schule für Gestaltung in Zürich in 1991.

Early in his career, Häberli worked with the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich, curating and developing exhibitions that deepened his engagement with design as both function and culture. In 1991, he established his own studio, launching a prolific career that spans furniture design, everyday products, exhibition concepts, and even architectural projects.

Häberli’s process begins with close observation of everyday life. He collects fragments of ideas, grounded in the needs and nuances of daily living. His design philosophy emphasizes clarity and practicality — if a product idea cannot be articulated in just a few sentences, it’s not ready. This focus has led to collaborations with leading global brands and a portfolio defined by its refined aesthetics, technical precision, and enduring functionality.
