Hallingdal 65
Kvadrat’s first textile ‘Hallingdal’ has become the archetype of woollen textiles. The very durable upholstery fabric was originally designed in 1965 by Nanna Ditzel, and is now available in a version with an updated colour scale: Hallingdal 65.
Hallingdal 65 is made of wool and viscose, which complement each other well: the wool provides excellent durability and flexibility, whilst the viscose adds brilliance and depth to the colour. Both materials are dyed before they are spun, which highlights the rich texture of the fabric.

Upkeep
Vacuum frequently, ideally every week, on low power with a soft brush. Upholstery made from polyurethane can also be wiped with a dry or moist cloth. Be careful not to rub the material with force, as this could damage the fabric and cause loss of color.
Spot Removal
First, scrape off any liquids or hardened residues with a spoon or a scoop before you proceed. Any loose particles must be vacuum cleaned before further cleaning. Liquids must be soaked up with an absorbent napkin or cloth. Remove the spot as quickly as possible. Dab warm, soapy water from the outer edge and work towards the center in a circular motion. In all cases, we recommend testing stain-removal agents on an inconspicuous area first, to see if there is any effect on the cover. Make sure to dry the fabric fully before use.
