WAVE TABORET

The cover of Wave taboret, a part of Svjetlana’s felt collection,  is made of  high quality merino felt.  The intricate surface structure gives a new identity to the thick, monochromatic material. The “felt waves” are hand sewn.

HULA HULA CHAIR

The Hula hula chair cover is quite unexpected: the chair is dressed up in hand woven stockings (hose). More precisely, for this project Svjetlana uses new but recycled stockings which did not pass the factory quality control. The new material is an intriguing blend of contemporary resources and old techniques and concept itself proposes new solutions to longevity of discarded objects - be it a chair or its new skin.
