INGENUITY MEETS SIMPLICITY
When Gabriel was established in 1851, the textile mill housed a dyeing
facility operated by skilled dyers with expert knowledge on colours,
formulas, and application. Today, more than 170 years later, dyes and
colour design are still valued skills at Gabriel.
At Gabriel, the process of developing colours is based on the combination of two equally important factors: Intuition and data. Intuition is the
human factor – the designer’s creativity, a spark of an idea, a feeling.
Data, on the other hand, is all the knowledge we have.
Our design philosophy is shaped by our strong Scandinavian heritage
and reflects the minimalist aesthetics that forms the cornerstone of
Scandinavian design.
We do not design loud, large-scale patterns but are the masters of
subtlety. Our designs are modern, simple, and timeless; refined and
sophisticated.
Our Scandinavian design roots are also reflected in our colour scales,
our crisp textures, and our strong focus on creating haptic experiences.
Our Global Portfolio is based on our design philosophy that is captured
in three simple words: Ingenuity meets simplicity.
