Atelier Pompadour

The pillows from Paola at Atelier Pompadour in Italy are so unique and I love that they’re one-of-a-kind and handmade. Using fabric and felt, her shop has many interesting offerings — it’s a great find to bookmark for gifts to give to someone who appreciates handmade with a graphic, modern sensibility. I personally adore the blue cars and would love to put this in a boy’s room.

Atelier Pompadour

I’m not sure about the rest of Europe, but felt in Germany is huge… and has been a big trend in design for awhile. You can find seat cushions, pillows, hats, ornaments, just about anything and everything in felt. What about where you live, is it commonly used there as well? Paola also writes an inspiration blog (in English) from her home in Milan called the Creativity Channel. Great name for a great blog!

    When I was a child, felt was used to play with. Great to see it used in such an imaginative way. The cushions are lovely.

    In France, it’s quite a new trend… I like it but I can’t touch it (kind of irritates me…). What a shame !

    I cannot find a local source for good quality felt and it is driving me crazy. A fabric shop owner told me yesterday that they don’t stock it because it is too warm in Texas to wear wool felt. Um, yes…but how about crafting with it!?!

    hello!

    I’m from France, and I’ll have to disagree with Melibu up above me. Felt is huge in france, and it has been for some years now. I have recently blogged about a textile designer who uses it a lot in innovative ways, she’s called Lily Latifi.

    I love felt! It makes a come back every winter on the design scene…

    Vic.

    PS: love yous blog, Holly!
