Kvadrat Sabi
Sabi is a multidimensional woolen upholstery textile, which explores layers and bright colour paradigms. Designed by Louise Sigvardt, it is crafted, in part, with recycled wool from the yarn spinner Wooltex in the United Kingdom.
One of the coloured yarns for Sabi are made of virgin wool, while the other is recycled wool dyed in darker tones. This approach ensures the textile’s dynamic colour palette, which features a classic dobby weave construction. The recycled wool used to create Sabi comes from re-using scraps that otherwise would have been waste.
Part of the process was exploring the relations between the colors of the fabric and other objects.
The Sabi color scheme includes both the playfull, bright colors and the toned down greys.
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.
