Design

The shelving and hanging system originally developed for Kvadrat’s Copenhagen flagship showroom, further defines the experience. Made from CNC milled anodised aluminium and hung from a flexible track system, it displays large pieces of upholstery textiles, curtains and rugs from the brands in the Kvadrat universe: Kvadrat, Kvadrat/Raf Simons and Sahco.

Aluminium tables and benches designed by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec for Emeco create a dynamic yet subtle dialogue with the track system and further underline the strong sense of materiality that defines the experience of the showroom.

Like all Kvadrat showrooms, the Los Angeles showroom is acoustically optimised with a Kvadrat Acoustics solution. It comprises Soft Cells-panels, upholstered with the Patio textile and the NODE system, which seamlessly coordinates and conceals building services for an aesthetically pure look.

Sculptural art textiles by Erwan Bouroullec – part of the Color Bloc series also created for the showroom launch – add a further dimension of colour and materiality to the experience of the meeting rooms. They are fabricated with a thin metal backing and can be shaped into intriguing forms that can be characterised as ‘hyper textures’. These signature elements mirror the interior concept and the Kvadrat brand values, by expressing raw elements and a visceral sense of meticulous engineering.
