Fashioning Felt

Felt has actually been used industrially and in handcraft work for hundreds of year but recently an exhibition put on by Cooper Hewitt called Fashioning Felt established a resurgence of the material in a variety of uses. This website shows some images from the work that was published with a wide range of furniture, clothing, and products. Felt's flexible, yet sturdy, characteristics allow it to be versatile in respect to its functions. It can be easily manipulated creating a broad spectrum of possibilities for the material.
