Designing Vertically?
Ludvig Svensson hanging fabrics
Ludvig Svensson is an exceptional fabrics company specialising in commercial fabrics. The company was founded in 1887, in Kinna Sweden, and is now owned by the fourth generation of the Ludvig Svensson family. Like many Northern European textile companies, they have a stunning colour palette that works well in the Australian environment. This is complemented by a wide range of sophisticated, elegant weaves in commercially tough trevira fabrics.
In a nice ecological twist, Svensson also exports climate screens to over 130 countries for greenhouse production! With Svensson climate screens you can grow ‘tomatoes in the Sahara’.
Exploring Vertical design?
Consider Hanging Fabrics
The vertical space is an often under-utilised area in interior design. Paint, veneers, brick, glass, and stone dominate the space. This can create harsh, noisy environments. Hanging fabrics soften spaces, filter light, enhaance acoustics and flexibility. Intuitive, flexible design spaces now incorporate fabrics ranging from subtle sheers to elegant dim outs like Ombre.
Range spotlight: Sway
Sway is a subtle knitted curtain with a distinct finish and undulating net structure which emerges as you draw near. The lightweight fabric enhance the surrounding light whilst sustaining visual contact. The curtains are available in 15 different colours, some strong but not so powerful that they take over. Rather, the playful sheer quality shifts like a veil against other surfaces.
Range spotlight: Ombre
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail Ombre’s outstanding design switches from light to dark, warm to cool. The ombré effect allows colour to gracefully evolve gradually across the fabric. available in 150 or 300cm wide selections, the graceful colour graduation delights the senses with a graceful drape and a C-class sound rating.
