Shading with Added Benefits
1/16/2024
Ame is an upholstery textile designed by Teruhiro Yanagihara that embodies longevity and mindful reuse in its construction and aesthetic. It is the first Kvadrat textile woven with recycled polyester made entirely from textile waste, and features a design inspired by Sashiko, a traditional Japanese mending technique.
Ame showcases the potential of textile-to-textile recycled polyester. It offers the same level of performance as virgin polyester and is recyclable. Woven with two yarns of different thicknesses, Ame features a rhythmic micro pattern, imitating Sashiko hand-stitching. Sashiko, a Japanese word meaning “small stitches”, is a form of functional embroidery used in Japan to repair worn textiles. This pattern is further emphasised by the use of two contrasting colours for the stitching thread and the base.
Ame's innovative composition and warm character make it ideal for offices, hospitality venues, and private spaces that seek to offer an uplifting ambience.
