And so the experience of actually lounging around the V&A museum in London has finally been realized to really reflect on Raffaello Santi's seven 'cartoons' or in Italian, cartone... And it's been done so in an array of blues, greens and multiple morphings of the two cool tones by Kvadrat and their Hallingdal fabric. Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec are the creative masterminds behind the 'Kvdrat Textile Field' installation which has been applied as part of the The London Design Festival (September 17 - 25). As the young, French designers explain, "Our intention is to propose a different, casual approach to freely experience what can be a quite intimidating environment, such as a museum. We conceived an expansive, coloured foam and textile piece with gentle inclinations to produce a sensual field on which to comfortably lounge while meditating on the surrounding Raphael Cartoons. Everyone can immerse into this temporary installation, for a minute, an hour or more, that is the idea. No efforts, no apprehension just contemplation."
