Sustainable Felt Design by Metylos

Metylos Louison patterned felt rug

With all the top-notch designers showing their innovative wares at Wanted design 2013 this year, I fell for the French company Metylos.... where designers Claire and Fabrice Roch create unique decorative products out of 100% Lambswool Felt fused with wood. Mod colors from natural pigments, well-crafted, sustainable processes, and a genuine concern for the environment describes their unique designs.  See the range:

Like ameobic creatures from the ocean, these felt LED light fixtures named Mathilde radiate a warm glow of light. The beauty of these lamps is its ability to change shape...they can be be braided, knotted, or slumped into different modulations with small round felt discs. About 48" long. Comes with cord, and discs. Felt comes in range of colors from white, pink, red, oranges, blue, to natural colors.

Succulent like a pineapple, recycled scraps plump up this 100% felt fixture named Martin. About 12" wide X 24" long. Felt comes in range of colors. Comes with cord, switch and socket.

The Victor fixture glows thru its perforated felt design. Its sculptural form comes in two sizes - 12" or 16".

The mustache motif always brings forth a giggle...love these felt i-phone and i-pad cases called Geek corner!

I have never seen a mirror like this one before....The Leo mirror has cascading felt that gives this mirror design texture and dimension. The felt can either be left hanging or fastened to the sides. It is about 24"X36" in size.

The Paul side tables are so much fun... made from natural beech wood from French forests with cool turned wood legs to support.  The applied felt gives the table a nice pop of color and added texture.

Lamacek: Eco Felt made from Recycled Plastic Bottles

Eco-Felt by Lamacek Design Studio

Eco-conscious, super fun and yummy to the touch....I'm talking about some really hip eco-felt made from 100% recycled plastic bottles by Connie Lam and Michael Sedlacek of Lamacek Design Studio, based in Willamsburg Brooklyn. I enjoyed my chat with Connie Lam at Brooklyn Designs 2013 this year and she shared with me that her felt- making came quite accidentally. She found some left over felt one day and started rolling it for fun. It was an "ah ha" moment where these shapes had potential to be made for interior. Yes!!, her handrolled and handstiched eco-crafted beauties can be used for flooring, walls and furniture....
