Autumn

 – From Kvadrat

Autumn is an upholstery textile woven from 100% recycled polyester. It comes in a nuanced colour palette designed by Teruhiro Yanagihara, inspired by the transient nature of the ‘ageing season’. The textile is constructed with a recycled polyester yarn made from used plastic bottles and woven in a layered double-beam weave. This composition gives Autumn a soft, natural hand and allows it to be continuously recycled with no degradation in quality. A dark, unicoloured background is used across Autumn’s colour palette, and offers a rich contrast to the melange top layer, which features yarns created from a mix of two fibre-dyed colours. The scale comprises a selection of neutrals including a white melange, papery beige notes and greys, and characterful reds, blues, and oranges, alongside a lively black shade. Teruhiro Yanagihara: “I chose a soft gradation of colours to represent the richness of ageing. I felt that although the textile is made of 100% recycled polyester, it expresses the sensitivity and transience in nature and a sense of natural fibres.” Autumn is suitable for a wide range of commercial and residential applications.
