The Bourellec brothers’ new showroom in [Kvadrat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kvadrat-raf-simons), Copenhagen has the main theme of ‘Clouds’ showcased. Kvadrat has now released this new design by the designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec.

‘Clouds’ is a textile system that is made of fabric. ‘Clouds’ allows the user to sculpt its three-dimensional form to reflect their personal expression. Each piece is made from Kvadrat textiles formed into [small triangles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moooi-peaks-sofa) with exterior tabs so that they can be joined with special elastic bands. These tiles can then be assembled to create different forms, like a [decorative screen or divider](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calm-system).
