‘Mono Wool’ is a 100% wool upholstery designed for local, circular and socially responsible production. Germany and Europe produces tonnes of raw wool as a waste product because the fibres are too coarse for clothing. This coarse wool is an excellent upholstery and cover material.
The Mono Wool cover is a 3D knitted structure with hollow spaces, filled with woolvlies and folded into a seat shell. Thanks to the 3D knitting technology, the upholstery fabric can be extracted by the machine as a finished part, eliminating the need for manual work-intensive processing steps.

I'm an interdisciplinary textile and product designer. I analyze the current use of materials and seek new design perspectives. In addition to classic product and material development, my focus lies on circular and regenerative aspects as well as the socio-cultural context of design.
