Celebrating the fashion designer’s sixth collection for
More than just an exhibition, the show was a destination. Vintage furniture covered in the new textile collection was placed within and around original
The exhibition championed new textiles with origins in fashion like bouclé, tweed and corduroy. The thick cording of the corduroy was echoed in the timber slats of transport palettes, while the bouclé textile was shredded to create a speckled floor, reminiscent of grassy lawns, flower gardens and patches of dust.

Atom is the latest of the Kvadrat/Raf Simons textile designs to draw oblique inspiration from the colours of nature. Bold, contrasting yarns including duck egg blue and burgundy on black or bright yellow and grey on forest green show Simons’ characteristic flair with colour, whilst more subdued combinations have a more classic appeal.
Conceived as a suite of diverse yet complementary tones, weaves and textures, Kvadrat x Raf Simons textiles and accessories are intended for use in a wide variety of interiors. In addition to the textiles, cushions in Atom, Novus 1 and Phlox have been added to the collection, available in a curated selection of sizes and colourways.
