A Layer In Between – Woollen Interventions for a Warmer Home

Historically, wool was a crucial commodity, shaping industries worldwide and providing warmth and comfort. Nowadays, Dutch wool has become economically worthless as fossil fuels dominate global textile industries and heat supply. ‘A Layer in Between’ is a collection of modular textile pieces designed to adapt homes for the harsh realities of energy crises. A rug can be combined with a blanket to maximise comfort when seated. A tapestry can serve as a back padding to protect from the cold of bricks. These pieces clothe the home and the bodies within, efficiently creating pockets of heat. They can be used seasonally or temporarily, offering a softer, smaller-scale solution to enhance comfort and warmth.
