I’ve recently noticed a huge felt trend growing in the home accessories market. Not that products made of felt haven’t previously been around for the home, it’s just that more and more people seem to be recognizing the great characteristics of the material and expressing it!

Because of its versatility, felt lends itself to creating numerous products with a warmth that tends to draw people in. I’ve noticed this trend at Maison & Objet, with the felt rugs and pillows from Poemo Design, the beautiful braided felt rugs from Toulemonde Bochart, and the acrylic felt strips that draped over Innermost’s lighting structures.

As I read through some of my favorite blogs, Apartment Therapy has a great post about the felt trend at the show.
Coincidentally, The New York Times Home section today features an article on felt and it’s emerging presence. The Cooper Hewitt Museum will be exhibiting the material and it’s many uses in a show called, Fashioning Felt.
I hope to make it to the show, which is on display now through September 7th. If anyone out there makes it before I do, fill me in on your findings!
