With the notion of our space resembling that of a home, we chose to create interesting shelving that defies a normal shop fitout. Luxe fabrics from a leading upholstery & textiles design house featuring Paul Smith and Raf Simons (Prada), were used to create feature blocks at different heights for displaying objects, alongside some decadent stone finishes. The overall result is striking, and defies convention. Even the track lighting was considered to be a feature of this space, powder coated in the same colour as the ceiling paint to create a striking visual effect.

There’s something truly special about handmade clay tiles, and these babies have it all! Each tile is pressed, glazed, and cooked one at a time, making each piece unique. Features like chipping, uneven edges, variation of colour and tone, dimples, and exposure of clay beneath the glaze are inherent to the tiles; and in our humble (note: slightly biased) opinion, these are the features that make them! If you’re ready to take your space to the next level, these glazed square clay tiles in ‘Coral’ will get you there.
Available in seven other colours.

Passel is a highly distinctive boucle texture woven in France by the same resource that fabricates many Chanel suiting materials. Here, lofty mohair boucle and fine wool threads intertwine before being gently felted and pressed. Ten colors are evenly distributed to create a balanced plaid design that’s further unified by a constant black boucle. With a concise palette centered on unexpected combination of brights and neutrals, each color of Passel is woven on its own dedicated loom.
54% Wool, 24% Acrylic, 17% Mohair, 3% Polyester, 2% Nylon.
Style #466470–001 Coati. Available in two other colour styles.
A return to Paul Smith’s signature exploration of color, Wool Check takes a modern approach to traditional applications of plaid. Guided by intricate tonal gradation, an expansive repeat of large-scale color blocking emulates one of Smith’s designs for apparel while emphasizing painterly transitions between highly specialized tones such as rose, carob, petal, mulch and ginger within a single colorway. Woven by a specialized resource in the United Kingdom, Wool Check makes use of rich woolen spun yarns, resulting in a rustic, warmly textured cloth that reinforces the pattern’s tailored origins. Wool Check will also be available as a fringed throw in three colors.
100% Wool.
Style #466501–002 Peony.
Available in four other colour styles.
Recheck is a refined woollen upholstery textile, inspired by traditional check patterns originating in women’s couture from the 1950’s. Designed by Giulio Ridolfo, the 17 colourways of Recheck are divided over four related patterns, which each offer a subtle yet vibrant play of stripes and colour nuances.
Constructed from the same melange yarn as Remix and Canvas, each colourway combines up to six nuances and delivers exceptional depth of colour. Giulio Ridolfo: ‘The blended yarn is the starting point. This is the beauty of the textile.’
90% new wool worsted, 10% nylon.
Style #0645. Available in sixteen other colour styles.
This handsome bouclé fabric marries the softness and intense colour of merino wool to the lustre of contrasting yarns. Base colours ranging from soft greys and blues through to cerise, powder-pink and deep orange are flecked with glossy threads of silvery grey, gold, pearlescent white and blue. The effects range from the glamour of a rich charcoal flecked with old gold, to the freshness of a shell pink shot through with pewter.
The nubbly texture of a bouclé weave is closely associated with high-end fashion garments. The colourways used in Pilot relate closely to key garments designed by Raf Simons in recent collections. Created by weaving with a combination of tight and loose yarns that leave little loops and circlets on the surface of the textile, the irregularities in surface texture and colour result in a very sophisticated fabric that is none the less suitable for general upholstery.
82% new wool worsted, 10% polyester, 8% nylon.
Style #0582. Available in nine other colour styles.
The celebrated collaboration between Kvadrat and Peter Saville opens a sensorial, thoughtful new chapter in 2021 with the launch of Technicolour – a craft-orientated, sculptural collection that visually and haptically translates the industrial processes in textile production. The name relates to the spectrum of bold hues commonly used to mark flocks of sheep that are spectacularly incongruous in pastoral settings.
'Flux' shares the same composition as Fade but features a rainbow pattern consisting of bold vertical stripes, which brings together eight shades in the repeat. Due to the nature of the design, the curtain is exclusively available in one colourway.
