“Squaring of the Circle” is a collection of cushions that has been designed by the Spanish designer Criatian Zuzunaga for Kvadrat. The vividly coloured design strings pixels in a graphic pattern together.

Individuality is the guiding topic of “Squaring of the Circle”. Each cushion possesses an individual, dynamic and unique look. The colours of the graphic patterns thereby reach from bright and expressive to soft and covered. Kvadrat offers the cushions in three colour worlds: fire, spirit and soul. They all use different colours in other combinations.

The vivid look from “Squaring of the Circle” is the expression from Cristian Zuzunagas’ desire of filling the everyday of people with colours and of creating positive emotions. The graphic design was inspired by architecture and the details images of city maps.

For the pixel-like design, Cristian Zuzunaga explained that he expanded digital city maps until they only displayed gross geometric forms. Zuzunaga understands the design as metaphor for cities of the world: it shows how a city is composed of the combination of endless individual single pieces and receives an unmistakeable character in this versatility.

Kvadrat manufactures the cushion “Squaring of the Circle” out of the cover fabric Trevira CS. The robust fabric is washable at 40°C.

Please note that every cushion is unique because of its production out of a large tissue rolls, so that it is possible that your cushion slightly differs from the ones displayed in here.
