Designer Raf Simons introduces his inaugural collection of lifestyle accessories that are set to be joining Kvadrat's roster with the Shaker System capsule. It is essentially a hanging bar that functions as a storage solution for small items that are around the home.
It builds upon years of fabric collection by Simons and also nods to his beginnings as an industrial designer as well. Speaking about the collection, he states that "More than ever the home is the absolute center of our lives and I wanted to create a system that would change it for the better. I am trained as an industrial designer, just putting out beautiful products was not enough. I wanted to conceive something relevant to how we live today."
