Fiord
Fiord is a versatile woollen upholstery textile with a subtle three-dimensional look. Originally designed by Norwegian designer Tone Barnung, it comes in refreshed colours created in collaboration with Louise Sigvardt.
The fiord series have been expanded over the course of the years, and is curently close to 40 colors, from subtle greys and pastels, to a vibrant and colorful color spectrum.
The nature of the fabric, and the complexity of the fabrics, make the expression of the upholstered elements change character depeding on the light and angle it is viewed from.
The construction of Fiord combines a mélange yarn with a unicoloured yarn that creates pearl-like dots that play across the textile’s surface. This sophisticated expression reflects a key source of inspiration behind the design: moonlight glittering like pearls on the rippling waters of a Norwegian fjord.
The color collection has been design to work with eachother in smaller selections, making it easier to use in interior designs, to ensure that the colors compliments eachother in many combinations.
