FELT the company
FELT is a design company based on the material and idea of felt.
Founded by artist Kathryn Walter, the company specializes in industrial
manufactured felts and is unique in its commitment to a material rather
than a market allowing it to move into numerous fields including visual
art, architecture and design. The versatility of the material is evident
in the FELT Product Line while FELT
Custom and FELT Design/Build demonstrate
a further range of possibility for fabrication.
The multi-disciplinary edge is carried into cultural studies as Walter
also produces and participates in projects that explore the material
and history of this unique fabric. This is evident in the work represented
in FELT Exhibitions.
The company emphasizes eco-friendly living. All felts are 80 - 100%
wool with varying combinations of virgin and recycled fibres. FELT
products are designed using basic geometric patterns that enable low-waste
production.
FELT is a trademark of FELT, the design company.
