This project salvages and enhances the value of waste wool on the basis of its irregularity. It all starts with felt: without looking for uniformity and perfection, this natural, warm, and pliant material was reinvented by getting rid of the winter atmospheres it is traditionally bound to. To make surfaces lighter and more graphic, battuto-like colours and patterns were key as they disclosed the designer's true obsession with waves and colour scales.
