Mono Wool – regenerative softness

Competitions: Home Competition [Now Closed]
In Germany tonnes of raw wool are produced as a waste product, as the fibres are too coarse for clothing. However, coarse wool can be used as an excellent upholstery material, as its fibres have a special bounce. Therefore, it could be used as an alternative to oil-based foams. The Mono Wool cover is a 3D knitted structure with hollow spaces, filled with wool and then folded into a seat shell. Thanks to the 3D knitting technology, the upholstery fabric can be extracted by the machine as a finished part, eliminating the need for manual work-intensive processing steps. Mono Wool is a 100% wool upholstery that is designed to be local, recyclable and socially responsible.
