Shading with Added Benefits
1/16/2024
Planum is a knitted upholstery textile with a refined woven expression and a smooth, soft surface. It comes in curiosity-inspiring colours crafted by Dutch Design Studio Raw Color. Characterised by a subtle matt lustre and a natural, dry handle, the knitted textile is constructed using a simple double-knit with a predominantly woollen surface.
To create the versatile colour scale for Planum, Raw Color took a collection of three-dimensional objects as a starting point. The studio explored diverse directions and shades before making a final selection of 21 tones from 350 handpainted samples.
Raw Color: “We decided to develop the colour palette based
on hand-painted swatches. This enabled us to create shades
that are less expected and uncommon.”
Naturally for a knitted textile, Planum features excellent
stretchability, making it ideal for upholstering organic
forms while minimising the number of seams. Suitable for
contract and private use, the textile combines well with the
more voluminous, three-dimensional textiles in the Kvadrat
Febrik collection.
