Graphic artist Peter Saville has designed a collection of textiles for the Danish textile company, Kvadrat. The line boasts vibrant and colorful patterns and is dubbed the 'Technicolour' collection. Saville has designed three rugs, two curtains, and upholstery fabric for the collection.
'Technicolour' marks the graphic designer's first time working with textiles and takes inspiration from the colorful sprays used by farmers to distinguish sheep. Saville explains, "I am excited by how the collection brings the industry of the land, in raw form, into the living environment." Each piece offers a unique texture, color palette, and overall aesthetic. For example, the rugs are handwoven and boast a coarse texture. While the curtains are fabricated using woven Trevira CS yarns and offer a sleek finish. While the upholstery comes in 11 color offerings and is made using British wool.
The collection is pronounced and playful, and thanks to its expansive color palette, it has something for everyone.
