Nestled in the heart of Zurich, 4Spaces is a Swiss textile company renowned for its exclusive, high-quality fabrics tailored for interior design. With over 30 years of expertise in textile consultancy, the company launched its own collection in 2008 and has since collaborated with architects and creatives worldwide, turning concepts into meticulously crafted textile solutions for residential, hospitality, and commercial spaces.

A Natural Fit

The partnership between 4Spaces and CLOTH HALL was inevitable. With its quietly radical approach to textile-making, rooted in precision, sustainability, and boundary-pushing collaborations, we share an immense appreciation for materials that speak softly but with intent.

Crafting Textiles with Character

At the heart of 4Spaces lies a commitment to craftsmanship. Under the creative direction of Michele Rondelli, the brand combines time-honoured techniques with modern innovation to produce fabrics that are tactile, elegant, and enduring. Each textile is woven on advanced looms and finished using traditional methods like hot-washing, reviving processes that date back over a century to achieve texture, depth, and durability.

From luxurious yarns such as cashmere, silk, and linen to high-performance flame-retardant blends, 4Spaces creates textiles that are as functional as they are beautiful. The craftsmanship is visible in every thread, ensuring each product feels purposeful and elevated.

Collaborations with Renowned Artists

True to their design-led ethos, 4Spaces frequently collaborates with contemporary artists and designers. Their partnership with Nathalie du Pasquier and George Sowden — co-founders of the iconic Memphis Milano movement, resulted in the "Venus" carpet: a bold, graphic statement in black, white, pink, and green.

They’ve also worked with artist Justin Morin to design ethereal, galaxy-inspired curtains for Vaisseau, the Michelin-starred Parisian restaurant that sought to blur the line between art and atmosphere. These collaborations underscore 4Spaces’ role as a curator of cultural expression through textiles.

Sustainability Through Local Expertise

Craftsmanship, to 4Spaces, isn’t just about beauty, it’s also about responsibility. Their commitment to sustainability is built into every stage of production. By working with partners within a 500 km radius of Zurich, the brand supports local expertise while minimizing environmental impact.

This regional approach allows them to maintain strict quality control, reduce waste, and build long-term relationships with skilled artisans, ensuring that every piece not only looks good but does good.

Global Recognition, Local Relevance

4Spaces' textiles appear in some of the world’s most prestigious spaces, from the Perez Art Museum in Miami to the Sala delle Asse at Milan’s Castello Sforzesco, and the Jewish Museum in New York. Their work spans corporate, hospitality, retail, and residential sectors, and their presence at international design fairs like Milan’s Brera Design Week and Zurich Design Weeks only reinforces their global influence.

Now, with representation at Toronto’s CLOTH HALL, 4Spaces is bringing its distinct vision to the Canadian design community, offering architects and designers access to a brand that stands for artistry, ethics, and enduring quality.

4Spaces exemplifies the fusion of tradition and innovation. Through masterful craftsmanship, artist-led collections, and a deeply sustainable approach, the brand continues to redefine the role of textiles in interior design. These aren’t just fabrics, they’re thoughtfully made materials that elevate spaces and tell stories worth sharing.
