Atlas

Impressive color intensity and fascinating color details

Textile designer Margrethe Odgaard, who is also behind Kvadrat’s recycled fabric Re-wool, has created the wool fabric Atlas, a design that captivates with its mottled expression and precisely nuanced blend of colors. She has achieved this novel mélange look with the help of a construction in which two yarns of different colors, themselves each consisting of two colors, are woven into the weft and warp. The special thing about Odgaard’s melange design is that the colors come out through the structure of the material. The result is a textile with impressive color intensity and fascinating color details. Since Atlas is made of virgin sheep’s wool, all the positive properties of the wool fiber come into play: virgin sheep’s wool not only provides cozy warmth in winter, but also a pleasant freshness in summer and excellent moisture management all year round. In addition, the wool fabric is low odor, antibacterial and water and dirt repellent. Soiling can therefore simply be brushed off after it has dried.
