For the WOOL IS COOL project we are developing naturally-dyed products made from “rescued” virgin wool from Luxembourg. Despite its value, Luxembourgish wool is normally sold by farmers at a loss. The aim of this project is to turn this economically undesirable material into an attractive, high quality interior piece.
The designs are contemporary and vibrant – a result of our experimentation with weaving and colour.
Our aim is to highlight the diversity and beauty of natural pigments and deepen our research into natural pigments whilst building up value chains for local wool by turning it into desirable textiles.
The first product realized is the COLOURS-SUR-SURE blanket collection. In the future we plan to also launch a locally produced rug.
WOOL IS COOL is funded by Œuvre Nationale de Secours Grande-Duchesse Charlotte Luxembourg.
