To explore the full potential of wool felting, Swiss designers Alix Arto and Emma Casella have partnered with Chinese designer Yihan Zhang from Róng Design Library. Through an immersive workshop, they will help participants to create felt pieces while using the process as a platform for discussion on the challenges and opportunities of the material. Facilitating the sharing of ideas, experiences and insight, the workshop’s aim is to inspire designers and architects to integrate wool into their projects by showcasing its versatility, sustainability, and timeless appeal. The hands-on experience explores traditional felt-making techniques while experimenting with wool from various breeds.
