Brand spotlight: Svensson fabrics
Love Vertical Design, Love Svensson!
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.
Vertical design, needs hanging fabrics!
The vertical space, is an often under utilised area in interior design. The space is dominated by paint, veneers, brick, glass and stone. This can create harsh, noisy environments. Hanging fabrics soften spaces, filter light, enhance acoustics and flexibility. Intuitive, flexible design spaces are now incorporating fabrics ranging from subtle sheers to elegant dim outs like Ombre.
Focus on Alter
Alter, like a chameleon, picks up colours from other textiles. As light conditions change, the colour of the curtain shifts as well. The palette is inspired by tones from Scandinavian nature, ranging from brilliant reds to forest-coloured greens. The sheer, semi-transparent quality gives Alter a beautiful drape with a soft touch. The yarn-dyed multicoloured quality of the fabric lets warm and cold tones harmonise together.
Focus on 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.
