 | | Felt Felt is an organical material made by hand. The pieces are created to be worn. Mental or physical distance collapses while one is wearing it. Its design conceals the elemental. The collection emerges from our nomadic past. Felt is probably the earliest man-made textile. The material embodies ways of life and traditions that are stored in our collective memory and its zest and powers are still as strong as when it was first invented by nomads. The collection explores the shifting dialogues that exist between created spaces, like the modules, and the body. The FELT pieces refer to a new perspective on the dynamic human body and its relation to space, which claims that the body is sensitive and adaptive, which demands that architecture act as a spatial extension of the body, as a womb. The felt wombs respond to the impending arrival of information-infused no-habitat spaces, made inevitable by technological progress.
