Re-Thinking Felt: It's Not What You'd Imagine.

Claudy Jongstra is creating felt from some radical materials, and doing some majorly fun work with it.

"From elegant to raw, from natural to (what looks like) synthetic colors, and from basic plain design to figurative patterns: in the last decade designer Claudy Jongstra (1963) has developed fabrics with a very different look. The range of uses of her felts is wide and manifold: theatre clothing, shawls, fashion, carpets, cushions, hangings, bed covers, wall coverings.
After this first decade it is time to evaluate the results: the first book about her work was published in September, at the same time of a presentation of new work at the highly regarded design gallery Moss, about which a long article was published in the New York Times. The international interest is not a new phenomenon for Jongstra. With her company Nòt tom dick & harry she has been working on an international level almost from start on. This is a remarkable take-off for an independent designer."
