Product description

Airfield is a refined curtain by Alfredo Häberli which showcases the designer’s love for chequered patterns. It meets the increasing demand for curtains that offer the tight, elegant weave typically associated with upholstery textiles. Characterised by a sculptural drape, Airfield is crafted with two differently coloured yarns that form a rhythmic, graphic pattern of small checks. Slightly translucent, it reveals glimpses of its construction as the light comes in through the window.

Airfield’s versatile, rich palette underlines Alfredo Häberli’s signature approach to colour. It comprises deep neutrals, as well as a series of highlight notes. The level of contrast in the colourways varies: some appear tone-on-tone while others have a more graphic expression. The colour scale for Airfield shares several hues with Alfredo Häberli’s other designs for Kvadrat. This opens a multitude of possibilities for creating vibrant, individual interior themes.

Alfredo Häberli: “When researching colours, I am strongly guided by my feelings and always ask myself how a certain fabric could be used in the future. Colour is the first possible decoration. Seeing and perceiving colours is a luxury.”

Airfield is flame-retardant and comes in a floor-to-ceiling height.
