Kvadrat Hero 2 Fabric

Designed by Patri­cia Urquiola, Hero 2 is a richly textured, unicol­ored uphol­stery textile that offers vibrant expres­sion and a soft, felt-like touch. An evolu­tion of the orig­i­nal Hero, it intro­duces a dynamic new palette of over 30 nuanced shades — ranging from earthy neutrals to vivid reds and deep blues.

Woven primar­ily from wool, a renew­able resource, Hero 2 has been thought­fully re-engi­neered to include recy­cled nylon instead of virgin fibers. This shift supports Kvadrat’s Conscious Design Prin­ci­ples, reduc­ing envi­ron­men­tal impact and enhancing recyclability.

Despite its sustain­able trans­for­ma­tion, Hero 2 retains the defin­ing char­ac­ter­is­tics of its prede­ces­sor: a direc­tion­less, smooth surface and excep­tional color depth, achieved through a refined finish­ing process. Its full-bodied construc­tion allows it to drape elegantly and comple­ment the sculp­tural forms of contemporary furniture.

Patri­cia Urquiola’s palette draws inspi­ra­tion from nature — spring blos­soms, earthy land­scapes, and flowing water — explor­ing tonal rela­tion­ships and non-tradi­tional expres­sions of red. As she explains: ​“The result is a warm, neutral palette inspired by spring, earth, and water. It orig­i­nates with reds then moves through pastel and earthy tones into a range of the darkest blues.”

Durable, versa­tile, and visu­ally strik­ing, Hero 2 is well suited for both private and public inte­ri­ors where bold design meets respon­si­ble material choices.
