Kvadrat Haku Fabric

Designed by Teruhiro Yanag­i­hara, Haku is a coated textile that balances dura­bil­ity with a refined, time­less aesthetic. Water­proof, wipeable, and highly resis­tant to wear, it’s ideally suited for high-traffic inte­ri­ors — from hospi­tal­ity to healthcare environments.

Its soft, tactile surface is achieved through a unique construc­tion: a sili­cone-coated polyurethane layer applied to an ultra-thin fabric base. This inno­v­a­tive approach creates a subtle, organic grain and a supple hand — setting Haku apart from conven­tional coated textiles.

Avail­able in 28 versa­tile shades, Haku’s palette draws inspi­ra­tion from Manyōshū, Japan’s oldest anthol­ogy of poetry. These tones — ranging from serene neutrals to vivid accents — reflect tradi­tional Japan­ese dyeing tech­niques and the nuanced beauty of seasonal change. Yanag­i­hara notes: ​“People enjoy the colours on the front and back of each kimono, and the subtle shifts when fabric becomes translu­cent in light.” Haku captures that same quiet complexity.

Beyond aesthet­ics and perfor­mance, Haku stands out for its sustain­able profile. It is free from PVC, PFCs, DMFs, and Silox­anes, and meets REACH and Cali­for­nia Propo­si­tion 65 stan­dards — offer­ing a safer, more respon­si­ble choice for contemporary interiors.
