La décoration intérieure ne vient pas immédiatement à l'esprit quand on pense aux multiples usages de la laine. Les costumes et les tricots semblent bien sûr plus évidents, étant donné la façon dont nous les portons toute l'année. Mais au-delà des tapis et des tapisseries, la laine joue un rôle de plus en plus important dans la décoration d'intérieur, avec la recherche, les développements de fabrication et l'innovation en matière de design, conduisant à son utilisation pour des créations aussi diverses que les rideaux, la literie, l'éclairage, les œuvres d'art et les objets décoratifs. Avec sa finition luxueuse, sa facilité d'entretien et ses propriétés hygiéniques, la laine est le choix naturel pour tout intérieur.

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.

« Pour moi, la laine est une fibre merveilleuse. Si la laine était inventée aujourd'hui, elle ferait sensation, car elle surpasse n'importe quelle fibre synthétique, et le fait qu'elle provienne de la nature est phénoménal. »
