Sabi is a series of woolen textiles created by the Danish brand Kvadrat. The brand plays with the perception of color, textures, and layers through its new upholstery series.
Louise Sigvardt is the lead designer for the new series. Based in Copenhagen, Sigvardt created the Sabi collection based on a traditional dobby weave. The textiles in the series are crafted with yarn made from virgin wool as well as post-industrial recycled wool to bring the industry one step closer to a sustainable future.
The virgin wool used in the textiles provide colored thread, while the recycled wool, sourced from UK yarn spinner WOoltex, is dyed in darker tones. This method creates a dynamic depth in the textile's composition.
