HERO 2
Unicoloured Hero 2 is a full-bodied upholstery textile designed by Patricia Urquiola. A new iteration
of Hero, it is characterised by its soft texture and exceptional colour richness, and comes in a
sporty new palette comprising over 30 nuances.
Hero 2 exemplifies Kvadrat’s commitment to Conscious Design Principles. It is primarily woven from
wool, a renewable resource, and is re-engineered to contain recycled nylon instead of virgin nylon.
Consequently, it is suitable for recycling.
The expansive new palette for Hero 2 showcases Patricia Urquiola’s singular approach to colour
design. It comprises a dynamic scale of subtle yet vibrant hues inspired by nature that explore
tonal associations, including a series of non-traditional interpretations of red.
