Brand spotlight: Gabriel fabrics
When only the best will do!
Product Launch:
Gabriel meets Gensler!
“Fabrics developed by Gabriel offer exceptionally functional and emotional utility value for the user.”
Gabriel collaborated with Gensler, serving as Product Design Consultant, for the Uptown and Downtown collections. Gensler is one of the world’s leading architecture and design firms. The collaboration ensures Uptown and Downtown meet real needs in contemporary interiors, combining bold design with practical performance for hospitality, commercial, and workspace environments.
The result? Two multi-use fabrics that balance architectural precision with tactile calm, designed to bring rhythm, structure, and softness to the spaces where we gather, work, and connect.
Uptown
Uptown is a bold and expressive polyester fabric defined by its large (100 mm), open grid structure and refined Scandinavian perspective.
Uptown translates the rigid logic of the urban grid into something more fluid and emotional. The larger pattern references city blocks softened by natural textures, particularly mossy lines, creating a tactile dialogue between architectural structure and organic calm.
Downtown
Downtown is a refined and precise pattern fabric defined by its smaller (65 mm), more structured grid and subtle Scandinavian sensibility.
Downtown interprets the urban grid with a smaller 65 mm scale, creating a crisp and clear pattern that echoes the detailed structure of city blocks. While sharing the same colour palette as Uptown, Downtown’s smaller grid pattern highlights the hues with precision, creating a detailed and dynamic visual effect. The interplay between the fabrics allows contrasts and harmonies within a unified colour story.
Downtown stands confidently on its own, but when paired with Uptown, together they form a powerful design duo.
