Textiles are a "simple, smart material" says Kvadrat Soft Cells design director

Kvadrat Soft Cells design director Jesper Nielsen explains the advantages of the three-dimensional textile panel system his team is developing in this movie Dezeen filmed for Kvadrat in Copenhagen.

Kvadrat Soft Cells is a modular system produced by Danish textile company Kvadrat. Each panel comprises a recycled aluminium frame filled with acoustic foam, which can be covered with a wide range of Kvadrat textiles.

"Currently Soft Cells consists of a very large variety of planar panels, with a patented technology for tensioning almost any kind of textile," Nielsen explains in the movie, which Dezeen filmed at Kvadrat's recently opened design workshop by architecture firm Caruso St John.

"One of the concepts that our innovation department is presently focusing on is going out of the plane, creating three-dimensional panels," he adds.

"It is the result of enquiries that we have had over the years from architects working with free-form surfaces."
