Serpentine by Giulio Ridolfo
Serpentine is a voluminous woollen upholstery, designed by colour master Giulio Ridolfo, which reflects the material heritage of Kvadrat with a contemporary twist. Its construction combines classic craftsmanship with modern techniques to create dynamic colour interactions and a distinctive tactility.
The textile derives its softness and volume from the thick, pure woollen yarn used in the weft, specially developed by Innvik, Kvadrat’s weaving mill in Norway. It is woven with a single colour of this thick yarn, alongside two colours of a finer yarn in the warp, using a unique construction that imitates a traditional double Ikat weave on an industrial scale.
Serpentine emphasises Giulio Ridolfo’s profound insight into design and manufacturing processes, especially how colour is embedded in textiles through yarn structure. The sophisticated colour system created for Serpentine balances small areas of vivid colours in the warp, inspired by his trips to Mexico, with subtler notes in the thick weft yarn, resulting in a lively palette of 12 colourways.
Due to its innovative construction, Serpentine offers a versatile colour scheme and a strong functional performance. As a result, it is suitable for a wide scale of commercial and residential applications.
