3D Knitted Fabric by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec for Kvadrat

Ronan and Erwan Boroullec have dreamed up something really cool: three collections of 3D knitted, stretch upholstery fabrics for Kvadrat. Using a double jersey knit, the fabrics look almost quilted with a knitted front layer made from fine melange wool and polyester yarns. The result is a richly textured fabric full of irregular nuances that are sturdy and flexible enough to upholster most any shape.
