Anne van de Weijer<\/h2>

Anne van de Weijer is de eigenares van Vilt aan Zee.\u00a0 Ze maakt de producten zelf en bedenkt nieuwe ontwerpen in haar winkel-atelier in Den Haag.<\/p>

\u2018After having worked as an architect I started Vilt aan Zee in 2011. I wanted to make the products myself, not only designing them. I love the natural material, the softness and even the smell of wool. Especially the big lamps that involve really hard work are very rewarding.<\/p>

I never lost my love for sketching and designing on paper or digitally. I love thinking about the possibilities with my client.<\/p>

I use colored wool for the wall panels. The intensity of the color is magnificent. I love abstract color areas like\u00a0Mark Rothko<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Marthe Wery<\/a>They are a source of inspiration form my wall panels. At first you experience one color but if you look closer you will see it is made of all kinds of colors.\u2019<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The making of<\/span><\/h2>

Felt is formed when you combine wool, warm water, olive soap and energy. A simple and ancient way to make fabric out of 100 % wool.<\/span><\/p>

We buy the wool as carded tops. Carded tops isn\u2019t spun yet, like the wool you use to knit with, but it has loose hairs that have been washed and combed.<\/p>

There\u2019s all kinds of sheep and so there\u2019s all sorts of wool. One wool is more curly and yellowish, while another is natural white and has a more quiet appearance.<\/p>

We consciously choose to buy wool that is produced in Europe and meets\u00a0bio standards<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In several layers we put the wool on a mold in a certain patron characteristic for Vilt aan Zee\u2019s lamps. Then we wet the wool with warm water and olive soap and rub our hands over the wool. This changes the loose fibers into fabric. The longer you continue rubbing the more the fabric shrinks and the firmer it becomes. Just like a woolen sweater that accidentally ended up in the washing machine.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
