Architonic, an independent database for products and materials, presents Feeling Felt, an up-to-date and comprehensive review of new products that incorporate felt.

Felt is a material which is experiencing a renaissance. Not just in fashion but nowadays also in product design and architecture, more and more creative spirits are exploiting the potential of this material. In the area of tension between archaic material and norm product, between handicrafts and industrial production, its textile character requires very special handling.

Pictured above is the Capsule Light - "Made from two capsule-like felt shells -one in color to direct light and the other in white to diffuse it- our Capsule pendant lamp emits a soft and relaxing glow. Install it as a single unit for intimate lighting or group them in dynamic arrangements to liven up a room."
