Designers make furniture and fashion products from textiles for Kvadrat's Knit! exhibition
Kvadrat's Knit! exhibition, which forms part of 3 Days of Design, sees 28 designers create a variety of objects upholstered in its Kvadrat Febrik textile range, from sofas and dining tables to a giant squishy ball and whimsical flight suits.
Debuting in Copenhagen during 3 Days of Design as both a physical and digital show, the Knit! project aims to explore the potential of the knitted textiles in the Kvadrat Febrik collection.
Curators Anniina Koivu, Jeffrey Bernett, Johanna Agerman Ross, Njusja de Gier and Renee Merckx selected 28 designers to take part who have demonstrated "curiosity in experimenting with materials, form and colour".
This includes London-based designer Yinka Ilori, Dutch design firm Studio Truly Truly and Swedish design collective Malmö Upcycling Service. Yinka Ilori's seating system is made from layers of upholstered ply-board
Ilori's creation is a seating system called A Trifle of Colour, which looks at the chair as a "social tool". Made from multiple-layered sheets of ply-board that are individually upholstered in Kvadrat Febrik's Sprinkles textile, the chair-bench hybrid features removable and adjustable backrests.
Other designers who opted for seating design include Ana Kra?, who created the Ofset Chair from six quadrilateral planes, and Ania Jaworska, who designed structured chairs intercepted with geometric cushions.
