It’s hard to imagine but felt is much closer to clay than it is to cotton or any other textile. In fact, felt is a three-dimensional material: the wool fibers in contact with the heat shrink and take any desired shape.It can be soft and thin as a textile or hard, thick and compact as earth.
The art of making felt is assuredly older then the art of spinning and weaving. It’s said to be the oldest man-made material: its story goes back 8.000 years.
The feel felt project is a collaboration with Feltrificio Biellese and wants to rediscover the old-fashioned characteristics of felt in synergy with the most modern manufacturing technologies.
This big pillow can be a soft surface for your back anywhere you are: on the floor, on your uncomfortable couch, on your bed… and its sides can be cut in the shape you like.
