Created by Doshi Levien, this fabric combines light filtration and subtle shadow effects with durability, easy maintenance, and certified outdoor performance.
The concept for Parallel fabric design originated by looking closely at the structure of the fabric. Considering this new fabric was to be used as screens for Pavilions, Doshi Levien created a weave that would allow light to pass through and cast a pleasing check shadow pattern. The same fabric is also applied in tension as a cushion support for the Kettal furniture. Doshi Levien used a combination of two colours to create visual texture and align the fabric more closely to the Kettal colour way.
For regular cleaning, use water and a mild, colourless, non-abrasive detergent. If needed, gently clean the surface with a soft brush and rinse thoroughly with warm water. Avoid salt water, acidic solutions, organic solvents, and pressurised water.
