Wool in Style

When it comes to furniture, I have a fondness for chairs, especially the design classics from Bertoia and Tolix. Made from steel, I love their industrial style, however they can be cool to sit on, especially during the winter months. A popular solution, seen a lot in Scandinavia and other cooler climates, is the use of wool. Just throw on a cosy sheepskin and you'll have a toasty warm tush in no time! 

There's certainly no shortage of sheepskins here in NZ but one place I recommend is Ecowool. Their Exclusive New Zealand Sheepskin Rugs are super-soft, and naturally free from harsh chemicals often used in the tanning process. Perfect not only for use as rugs but also throws for chairs and sofas, they can be custom made to any size. They also come in a range of great colours, although I don't think you can go past creamy white. Even better, you can shop online, with free international shipping.
