Felt, one of the oddest textiles, is again very fashionable, and not only for making hats. Home furnishings and decor, jewelry, and even lamp shades are being made of this warm and cosy material.
I was first impressed by the Felt Shade Floor Lamp and Felt Shade Pendant by Tom Dixon, but I just came across this beautiful Oak Leaf Pendant and Floor Lamp from DesignLush. Warm, versatile and eco-friendly, obviously felt continues to be loved by designers and customers.
