Orig­i­nally designed in 1965 by Nanna Ditzel, Halling­dal is Kvadrat’s first textile and a true icon of Danish design. Updated as Halling­dal 65, the fabric remains a bench­mark in wool uphol­stery — cele­brated for its dura­bil­ity, time­less appeal, and vibrant color palette.

Crafted from 70% wool and 30% viscose, the mate­ri­als are dyed before spin­ning to enhance texture and depth. Wool brings strength and resilience, while viscose lends bril­liance to the color. Avail­able in 58 shades — from soft neutrals to bold pinks and turquoises — Halling­dal 65 contin­ues to define inte­ri­ors in both public and private spaces.

Honored with the Danish Design Centre’s Classic Prize in 2001, Ditzel’s endur­ing design remains one of Kvadrat’s bestsellers.

Build­ing on this legacy, Sisu offers a contem­po­rary inter­pre­ta­tion of Halling­dal. Created by artist Danh Vo, Sisu is woven with thicker wool yarns into a bold, checked pattern. It blends playful expres­sion with the refined mini­mal­ism of Danish aesthet­ics. Avail­able in 16 comple­men­tary color­ways, Sisu adds depth, warmth, and char­ac­ter to modern inte­ri­ors — bridg­ing the past and present with effortless elegance.

Nanna Ditzel

Denmark

A pioneering figure in mid-century Danish design, Nanna Ditzel trained as a cabinetmaker before graduating from Copenhagen’s School of Arts and Crafts and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1946. Her multidisciplinary work spanned furniture, textiles, and jewelry, marked by bold color, organic forms, and a forward-thinking use of materials like fiberglass, wicker, and metal.

Among her many enduring designs, Hallingdal 65—created for Kvadrat in 1965—stands as a benchmark of lasting functionality and modern elegance. Still in continuous production today, the textile reflects Ditzel’s timeless aesthetic and her ability to unite innovation with everyday use.
