the bouroullec brothers present their latest collaboration with danish company kvadrat; canal, moraine and gravel – three collections of three dimensional knitted and stretch upholstery fabric for the occasion of salone del mobile 2014. constructed using double jersey knits, the series of textiles reveal new surfaces in its slightly quilted form, combining the flexibility properties and firmness necessary to upholster a variety of shapes by using less stitching points.

the knitted front layers are made from fine melange wool and polyester yarns, which combines dark and light fibers

 the knitted back layer is made from uni-colored polyester yarns, with color accents

the collection creates a sense of tactile playfulness – a rich play of warm, delicate and irregular color nuances
