Steelcut Trio is based on Steelcut, introduced in 2004. The fabric is made from the same wool and special weave as Steelcut and designed by the same duo, Dutch weaver Frans Dijkmeijer and Italian colour virtuoso Giulio Ridolfo.
The difference lies in the colouring of the fabric. While Steelcut is piece-dyed in subdued, neutral shades, Steelcut Trio is yarn-dyed and consists of three different colours of yarn in strong, clear hues. This construction enhances the three- dimensional effect of the textile, giving the fabric life and depth. The tricolour construction also makes the colours seem to change depending on the angle of perspective.
