Sometimes we find that what we started our careers doing, no longer lights a fire in us. The same happened to Justin Floyd. Thus, Solidwool was born.
Rather than designing something strictly beautiful, Floyd wanted it to make a beautiful impact. All great design has an element of meraki; Floyd’s is no exception.
His small English hometown of Buckfastleigh served as his inspiration for this beautifully constructed, sustainable chair.

Sheared straight from the backs of Herdwick sheep, this sustainable alternative to fiberglass can be use to make furniture, counters and even baths while hardly leaving a footprint.
Who knew you’d be sitting on (and not wearing) your next wool product?

No need to shed tears any longer over the absence of the Drop chair. Denmark’s own Republic of Fritz Hansen has resuscitated Arne Jacobsen’s 1950’s design for 2014.
Inspired by the human form and its contours, this tear-shaped chair is uber-comfortable and available in textile, plastic and leather.
We adore this nod toward the past and reach for the future.

Introduced in 2013 by Dutch designer, Arian Brekveld the VIK lounge chair still begs to be sat in. Inspired by the seats of cars, this permanently reclined design is perfect for drinks minus the driving.

The juxtaposition of its breezy aesthetic and robust materials make the VIK as interesting as it is comfortable.
Which one is your favorite?
Always,
