Green report: felt rugs make a comeback.(REAL ESTATE & DESIGN)
Sarasota Magazine, June, 2009
Earth friendly and chemical free, the felt rug is an age-old tribal tradition that's absolutely modern, thanks to eco-conscious companies like Peace Industry. Biodegradable vegetable dyes are applied to lamb's wool, which--rather than being woven--is sprinkled with boiling water, then rolled, walked on and beaten by hand to create the felt. Felt rugs were first created in ancient Persia; nomads spread them through eastern Asia. That's why you'll find so many tribal and nature motifs. Look for the Peace Industry collection online at Design Within Reach (www.dwr.com).
