A wool chair to experience a
unique sensory experience every day

Wool is the natural fiber of animal origin par excellence. Warm and enveloping, soft and affable, wool is also one of the favorite materials in the world of furniture.

To furnish and heat the house, the wool upholstery of the chairs is perfect during the winter. Its appearance – indeed – woolly, the feeling of warmth and softness to the touch, and also the slight characteristic scent make it a unique and irreplaceable material.

Wool is not all the same. The wool fibers can be long, medium or short, and their thickness can be Thin, ordinary or coarse. There are many varieties of wool: they depend on the type of animal (sheep, camelids, etc.), on the side of the body of the animal being shorn, and on the processing.

Why choosing woolen chairs

Wool has an excellent thermal insulating capacity, that acts both in cold and warm conditions. It protects from noises, it is absorbent and therefore contrasts well with humidity, and has a great resistance to wear (think, for example, to the virgin wool sweater handed down from parents or grandparents – still in perfect condition). Fireproof, antistatic, elastic, resistant to mold and bacteria. Wool is therefore an ideal material not only for winter clothing, but also for furniture. In addition, colored wool is an extremely lively material that pleases and stimulates children, too.
