The Power of Felt ...

One of the oldest fabrics and certainly one that has a place in our heart (hours of kindergarten fun making wallets and hearts and letters), felt was all over the place at ICFF (International Contemporary Furniture Fair). And for good reason. It's moisture-resistant, renewable, tactile and inexpensive. 


No longer "crafty," felt is modern and contemporary -- environmental, durable, easy care. Here, on the Section bench by Derek Chen of Council, it's both sleek and inviting.








 Totes are durable and water-resistant when made of felt. They can be used for running errands, holding groceries as well as for corralling items from shoes to knitting to towels and magazines. We especially liked this one, the Akanbe from Plus-d. It's perfect for summer picnics, for the beach or for toting baby and kid stuff; we love how it unfolds to become a blanket or play mat.







Made of 100% Merino Wool felt 3mm thick and high fashion designer multicolor fabric pocket for 6 or more credit cards plus money pocket. Space for Iphone or ipod outside the wallet with a metal snap closure.

Wool felt is a biodegradable and renewable material, water-resistant, self-extinguishing, and known for its highly saturated and lightfast colors. It also proved the perfect cushion for those inevitable accidents.
