Midair by Maharam

New York–based multimedia artist Jacob Hashimoto has translated his three-dimensional suspended installations into two woven upholstery fabrics for Maharam: Midair (shown) and Beyond. The intricacy of Midair’s 19 patterns references his expansive handmade kite sculptures; 11 tones per individual colourway (six in total) result in a nuanced exploration of opacity, transparency and neutrality.

Rumor by Kvadrat Febrik

The complexity of Bertjan Pot’s Rumor for Kvadrat Febrik becomes more pronounced the closer you look. Using both digital photo-editing programs and traditional knitting techniques, Pot created nine energetic colourways — each comprising four different hues stitched together — that are rich and sophisticated. The brand’s first knitted textile made from more than 70 per cent post-consumer recycled polyester, the voluminous material has a dimpled surface and superb elasticity, and can create seamless applications.

River Lea + The Thames by Designtex

A recent two-textile collaboration between Designtex and British studio Wallace Sewell — helmed by Harriet Wallace-Jones and Emma Sewell — includes The Thames, a preppy composition of thick stripes, and River Lea, a thinner striated pinstripe. Inspired by their namesake rivers, both have a finish-free construction and are offered in coordinating colourways (five and six, respectively) that allow for harmonious mixing and matching.

Limitless Loop by Luum Textiles

One of six upholstery fabrics in the Organized Complexity collection by Suzanne Tick for Luum Textiles, Limitless Loop (in six colourways) is a tactile quilted material detailed with geometric curves that nod to fractal patterns found in nature. The intensity of the nylon embroidery fades in and out as it traces the three-dimensional contours of the pillowy surface.
