Clouds is a colourful, innovative and individual interior design element for your home.

The internationally renowned designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec made an innovative concept for your house with Kvadrat: Clouds, an interdigitated system made of textile modules. Clouds can be mounted as installation at the wall or ceiling.

Clouds evolves an unusual, three-dimensional effect and develops itself with every element.

The inviting irregular surface initiates to own art works and lets visions become reality. Because the impulse of Clouds lays in the personal appearance.

The modules are made of single elements and are put together with rubber bands. If it is a simple design or a complexe, decorative room devider or wall - to create an own work is done really easy, fast and uncomplicated.

The modules can be put together in a simple way to an individual style and brings new ideas in the house, everytime new.

It was the work on the North Tiles, also a corporate work with Kvadrat, which inspired the two French designer for the concept Clouds - a simpler version than North Tiles for the private use.

„When I look into a design- or architecture magazine every now and then, I'm getting a shock about all the cold rooms“, says Ronan Bouroullec.

He explains: “When we got the order of Kvadrat, we wanted to create a design solution, which is soft and inviting. And our goal was, to find a solution, which is so simple and thought-through, that it doesn't need any expensive craftsmen, but can be mounted by normal people without polishing, adjusted, or aftertreating”.

Anders Byriel, Kvadrats manager, means, that soft fabrics come back in public houses and privat households:

„Over years the tendenz was to use less fabrics. The curtains are gone just like carpets, and our chairs have braided seats and backrests, and every accessoire is made of glass, concrete, stone or wood, which are nice, but also hard. But the development changed. More and more human find out, that the soft material doesn't just feel soft, it also is an esthetic beauty and has a big effect on the acustic in our rooms. In the last years it became clear, how important the acoustic level is for our daily well-being“, explains Anders Byriel.

Each element of Clouds has two colours. Front- and backside are in one of both chosen colours.
