Materials
Thatsit™ is made from beech plywood. The plywood is treated through an iterative molding process where several veneer layers are combined and glued. Through the application of combined heat and pressure, the layers are given their characteristic shape. All wooden parts are flexible and strong, ensuring a sitting experience that is never static. For a beautiful and durable finish, our plywood is covered with an ash top veneer, manually sanded and coated with water-based lacquers.

Fabric Options
Revive - 100% recycled polyester
Revive 1 is a vibrant upholstery textile designed by Georgina Wright. Made from post-consumer recycled polyester (PET), it is especially created with a focus to reduce the environmental impact both in production and natural resources.
The design of Revive 1 is inspired by the textures, colours and materials of harbours and fishing boats. It comprises two unicolours, one in the warp and one in the weft. These are either tone-in-tone or slightly contrasting.

Upkeep
Vacuum frequently, ideally every week, on low power with a soft brush. Upholstery made from polyurethane can also be wiped with a dry or moist cloth. Be careful not to rub the material with force, as this could damage the fabric and cause loss of color.
Spot removal
First, scrape off any liquids or hardened residues with a spoon or a scoop before you proceed. Any loose particles must be vacuum cleaned before further cleaning. Liquids must be soaked up with an absorbent napkin or cloth. Remove the spot as quickly as possible. Dab warm, soapy water from the outer edge and work towards the center in a circular motion. In all cases, we recommend testing stain-removal agents on an inconspicuous area first, to see if there is any effect on the cover. Make sure to dry the fabric fully before use.
Reflect - 100% post-consumer recycled polyester
Reflect is a sophisticated twill weave upholstery textile designed by Patricia Urquiola made from recycled polyester, with a natural expression and a particularly tactile touch. Unusual for a textile crafted from recycled fibres, Reflect has a particularly delicate and soft hand. Made from recycled polyester, it offers excellent functional performance, as well as a full scale of vibrant colours. The versatile palette for Reflect comprises 35 colourways and expresses confident colour combinations by matching warm notes with closely related nuances. Reflect is suitable for contract and private use.

Re-Wool - 45% recycled wool, 45% new wool worsted, 10% nylon
Re-wool is a rich upholstery textile with a sustainable profile, crafted using 45% recycled wool. The textile is partly made by reusing scraps from Kvadrat’s yarn spinners in the UK. It is designed by Margrethe Odgaard.
‘The idea was to create a both honest and environmentally friendly – textile with a poetic feel by recycling leftover material from Kvadrat’s own production’, explains Margrethe Odgaard.
Reminiscent of colourful stitchings on a darker background, Re-wool features exceptional depth of colour, creating a dynamic play on the textile’s surface when applied to furniture.

Vidar - 94% new wool, 6% nylon
Woven from bouclé yarns with a regular loop size, Vidar has a deep, tight, large-grained texture that lends itself particularly well to the graphic use of color in upholstery. Originally designed by Fanny Aronsen, Vidar has been re-colored by Raf Simons. The gentle satin surface finish of the weave contrasts with the deep shadowy tones in the depths, giving a multifaceted richness to the intense colors in the range. Tightly woven, without the irregularities of other bouclé fabric, Vidar has an inviting texture.

Once or twice a year for thorough cleaning or for spot removal, use the foam from soap flakes stirred in warm water. Apply the foam with a dry soft cloth, minimizing any contact with water. Avoid bar soap, saddle soap, leather cleaners, household detergents or chemical products.
Hallingdal 65 - 70% new wool, 30% viscose
Kvadrat’s first textile ‘Hallingdal’ has become the archetype of woollen textiles. The very durable upholstery fabric was originally designed in 1965 by Nanna Ditzel, and is now available in a version with an updated colour scale: Hallingdal 65.
Hallingdal 65 is made of wool and viscose, which complement each other well: the wool provides excellent durability and flexibility, whilst the viscose adds brilliance and depth to the colour. Both materials are dyed before they are spun, which highlights the rich texture of the fabric.

Melange Nap - 97% new wool worsted, 3% nylon
Melange Nap is a woollen upholstery textile characterised by exceptional depth of color and surprising details. Designed by Akira Minagawa, it offers a distinctively unique melange expression.
Extremely soft yet durable, Melange Nap appears to be brushed. It is constructed with a unicolored and a melange yarn, which creates a graphic pattern of tiny dots that play across its surface. The volume of details that emerges depends on the contrast between the yarns—some darker colorways appear almost unicolored, while others have an intriguing multi-colored look.

Fiord 2 - 92% new wool worsted, 8% nylon
Fiord is a versatile woollen upholstery textile with a subtle three-dimensional look. Originally designed by Norwegian designer Tone Barnung, it comes in refreshed colors created in collaboration with Louise Sigvardt.
The construction combines a mélange yarn with a unicolored yarn, creating pearl-like dots that play across the surface. This refined texture is inspired by moonlight glittering on Norwegian fjords.
