Kvadrat Mylla Fabric

Mylla is a knitted uphol­stery textile with an intri­cate, organic mélange surface, designed by Note Design Studio. Created along­side its more expres­sive coun­ter­part Myr, the two textiles are designed to work in harmony, offer­ing versa­tile combi­na­tions for layered interiors.

Both Mylla and Myr are Kvadrat Febrik’s first textiles made entirely from 100% post-consumer recy­cled poly­ester, marking a new stan­dard for respon­si­ble design. Crafted from specially devel­oped yarn derived from used plastic bottles, Mylla combines sustain­abil­ity with refined visual depth.

The design takes inspi­ra­tion from natural and manmade irreg­u­lar­i­ties. The name Mylla — Swedish for ​“humus,” the fertile layer of soil — reflects its non-uniform, stip­pled surface, remi­nis­cent of organic textures found in nature. Through careful exper­i­men­ta­tion with stitch­ing and construc­tion, Note Design Studio achieved a subtle, random pattern that feels tactile and spontaneous.

Mylla is constructed using a double jacquard knit with a high-bulk recy­cled poly­ester filling yarn, creat­ing its matte appear­ance and soft, padded hand. The palette includes ten earthy and archi­tec­tural tones, each blend­ing two shades within the same hue to build the rich mélange effect.

Highly stretch­able, Mylla is ideal for uphol­ster­ing organic shapes and complex forms. Its durable, mono-mate­r­ial construc­tion allows for contin­u­ous recy­cling without degrad­ing quality, making it a future-focused choice for both resi­den­tial and contract settings.
