A coffee table collection that challenges the perceptions of materials and reimagines how soft materials like wool can be used as the main focus of the piece. Creates an illusion that a table top is floating on a soft cloud. The tables use wool from West Yorkshire and celebrate the rich textile heritage and history of this region. Uses needle felting and textile construction for the base. Designed to add softness into a space and invites the user to touch and feel the piece, exploring the tactility of furniture design.
