Bringing more
material presence
to open interiors

A bouclé yarn gives WABI its character. Seven individual threads in harmonising shades are twisted together and held in place by fine, lengthwise warp threads. Together, they create a subtle grid.

• Light catches the texture differently throughout the day, adding depth and movement

• Up close, irregular loops, fine lines and subtle shifts in colour become visible

• The design is inspired by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which values simplicity, natural variation and the beauty of imperfection

In open interiors, WABI can zone functions without fully closing them off, softening large expanses of glass and marking a visual break between areas that still feels connected.

It suits wave systems that let the bouclé structure and fluid drape read clearly across the full height of the installation.

Its structure also carries a measured sound absorption value of αw 0.10, a useful addition to the space rather than a dedicated acoustic function.

WABI is available in ten muted, natural tones. Its melange surface combines easily with a wide range of interior colours, making it well suited to layered and more complex colour schemes.

Each colourway blends several harmonising shades, creating subtle tonal variation rather than a flat, uniform colour.

WABI and ZEN are coordinated hanging textiles within the Almedahls Texture Concept. With a shared colour palette, they offer a cohesive solution for projects requiring different levels of transparency and privacy.

 

 

With a width of 305 cm, WABI can be railroaded, used horizontally, for finished curtain heights of up to 280 cm, reducing the need for vertical seams. It can also be used in the standard direction, allowing for greater curtain lengths and adapting to different window dimensions and curtain constructions.

It is flame retardant and OEKO-TEX® certified, making it straightforward to specify for contract interiors.
