colour palette hopsak

Hopsak fabric has been exclusively manufactured for Vitra since 1971. The expressive and durable flat-weave material was originally offered in a colour palette developed by Alexander Girard for the Eames and Nelson collections. Over the years, Hopsak has been regularly updated and refined to meet changing technical requirements and colour preferences. In 2014, Jongerius completely revised the palette of Hopsak shades and expanded the selection to a total of 28 colours – including 26 new duotone fabrics. The duotone colours offer a multitude of design possibilities in high-contrast, brightly hued or subtle combinations of warp and weft threads. ‘The story of Hopsak is about creating something new not only by interweaving two different colours, but also by linking design history with today’s sensibility and by uniting the industrial world of the office with the softness of the home. I like to give the classics a new energy. It is an honour to take care of our heritage’.
