More details here…

Tonica 2 is a refined woolen uphol­stery textile designed by Georgina Wright for Kvadrat. As an evolu­tion of the orig­i­nal Tonica launched in 2000, Tonica 2 enhances the classic with a more complex and dynamic color expres­sion, created by blend­ing three piece-dyed wool qual­i­ties instead of two.

Wright, cele­brated for her mastery of color and texture, brings her char­ac­ter­is­tic subtlety to Tonica 2. The fabric features a tight twill weave and a softly mottled surface with a subdued black shadow that gives each color­way depth and clarity. The expanded palette includes 39 hues — 24 newly intro­duced in 2017 — ranging from quiet neutrals to vivid, satu­rated tones. This broad spec­trum, described as a color bomb,” offers great flex­i­bil­ity for contemporary interiors.

Tonica 2 is crafted from 100% wool and has a Martin­dale rating of 45,000, ensur­ing excep­tional dura­bil­ity for both public and private settings. Its natural sound-damp­en­ing qual­i­ties and tactile rich­ness make it suit­able for furni­ture uphol­stery, curtains, and acoustic applications.

Named after the musical term tonika” — the keynote of a scale — Tonica 2 embod­ies a sense of comfort and ground­ing. Like much of Wright’s work, it draws inspi­ra­tion from both nature and archi­tec­ture, balanc­ing warmth and preci­sion in a time­less textile design.

A graduate of the Royal College of Art in 1987, Wright discovered her passion for weaving during her studies, where she began to blend her love of art, fiber, and design into a distinct creative language.

Her work draws inspiration from landscapes and architecture, yet retains a sense of warmth and tactility that prevents it from feeling sterile or overly rigid.
