British designer and textile consultant Georgina Wright graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1987. Since then she has gained widespread recognition for her ability with colour and texture. An uncompromising belief in quality and integrity results in fabrics with a unique signature.
Wright often designs textiles that reflect architecture or landscape but that are never sterile. She keeps a close eye on beauty and function, believing both are necessary components in a good textile design.

In music, tonika is the keynote in a scale, a note where you feel “at home” because the melody in the mode concerned often ends on tonika. This feeling is elegantly transferred to the upholstery Tonica, which exactly expresses something safe and comfortable.
In 2000, Kvadrat presented Tonica, a mixed woolen fabric which retains its look and feel even during hard everyday wear in offices. The main requirement of Tonica was to obtain a blend in the surface of the fabric while retaining the solid colour expression, so that you get a clear and vivid colour shadowed with black. The colours of Tonica are created, by doing both a light grey and a dark grey mélange in the same 14 colours. This produces 14 light and 14 dark mélange colours in Tonica.
