With deep roots in Scandinavian modernism — as well as foundational partnerships with designers such as Nanna Ditzel and Ross Littell — the textiles aficionados at Kvadrat consistently push the envelope in their concepts for rugs and carpets, window coverings and upholstered furniture.
Kvadrat is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of textiles and textile products, and the company is also well known for the lounge chairs, sofas and canapes upholstered in its revered fabrics. These furnishings include seating created by Danish mid-century master Finn Juhl, which is today upholstered in a range of Kvadrat materials and manufactured by House of Finn Juhl.
Kvadrat was established on Denmark’s east coast in 1968 to provide textile solutions for residential and commercial interiors. The company is focused on eco-conscious processes and prioritizes sustainability — its brand Really creates products from textile waste — and its bold designs and technological advancements helped Kvadrat become a leader in Europe's high-end textile market.
A series of successful partnerships have also kept Kvadrat thriving over the long term. In 2001, it partnered with New York-based textile company Maharam to operate joint ventures in Australia. The partnership was a success for both companies and led to collaborations with leading designers and artists like Peter Saville, Patricia Urquiola and Thomas Demand.
In 2014, Kvadrat also partnered with fashion designer Raf Simons, who used the manufacturer's textiles in his menswear lines. The designs debuted on runways in Paris when Simons presented his Autumn/Winter 2015 and Autumn/Winter 2016 collections.
In 2018, Kvadrat announced another new partnership, this time with American-based furniture company Haworth. It was a natural fit for the two family-owned and design-oriented companies, and Haworth now offers its high-performance furniture to clients worldwide that is upholstered in Kvadrat fabrics.
Kvardrat’s textiles have been integrated into projects all over the world such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, Yves Saint Laurent in Paris and elsewhere. In 2022, the company held a pop-up space in Chicago’s Fulton Market during NeoCon.
