인테리어 디자인을 생각하면 울이라는 소재가 쉽게 떠오르지 않는 게 사실입니다. 일 년 내내 입는 수트나 니트가 더 쉽게 떠오르는 것이 당연할 지도 모르겠습니다. 하지만 러그나 침구커버로 쓰일 때 외에도 울은 홈 디자인에서 상당히 큰 부분을 차지합니다. 계속된 연구와 기술의 발달, 디자인 혁신으로 커튼, 침구, 조명, 예술품, 장식물 등에 다양하게 쓰이기 시작한 것입니다. 고급스러운 마감 처리와 관리가 쉽고 건강에도 이롭다는 특성을 생각해보면 울은 단연 인테리어에 가장 적합한 선택일 것입니다.
THE DREAMWEAVING PROJECT
Weave your own wall art
This woven wool wall hanging is accomplished on a simple loom which will hold the cotton warp as the wool weft is passed in and out with the fingers. Australian artist Natalie Miller’s tutorial will arm you with an array of different techniques that you can achieve with tapestry weaving.

Maharam’s future vision
There are few companies with as storied history as Maharam, which was founded in 1902 by Russian-born American immigrant Louis Maharam. From a pushcart near Manhattan’s Wall Street, Louis sold fabric remnants, a business venture that subsequently evolved to become a storefront in New York City’s midtown.Today, the company works collaboratively with a range of artists and designers on its collections, creating an open dialogue across varied disciplines so as to offer its customers – largely architects and interior designers – something innovative.

Off the Wall
Having crafted a reputation with more than 50 years of material-based artworks, Sheila Hicks shows no signs of slowing down. Her favoured medium is wool and other natural fibres but abandon here all visions of macrame; Hicks has been using textiles since the 1970s to make work that straddles the realms of art, craft and architecture, exploring scale from intimate weavings to large monumental installations that challenge the properties of her chosen medium in ways that are always surprising and never cliché.

“저는 울을 기적의 섬유라고 불러요. 울이 지금 발명됐다면 엄청난 파장을 일으켰겠죠. 그 어떤 합성 섬유와도 비교할 수 없으니까요. 자연에서 만들어졌다니 더욱 경이롭기도 하고요.”
