The wool comes from a special sheep breed characterized by dense and long hair growth. The blossom white wool is spread out like a diaphanous net in a receptive rhythm. This laborious process requires incredible patience but ultimately results in a soft transparent effect. The gossamer thin structure of lace comes to the fore in an atmospheric way, because the light shines out from the inside. By presenting it as a light object, the design resembles a fine-grained lacework.

Launched during the London Design week 2018.
