To celebrate Wool Week, Leeds College of Art collaborated with SIL Holdings to create stunning wool installations housed in the Victoria Quarter buildings.
The installations were free to view and made up part of a competition, with winning students awarded work placements with SIL Holdings Limited fabrics. Harvey Nichols showcased one of the winning designs in a window throughout the duration of Wool Week.
Wool Interiors Launch OneWool
This year, CFW launched OneWool in both the UK and USA. Top retailers, manufacturers and consumers united to choose one wool product to highlight and so create a huge celebration of the best wool interior items across the industry. Products ranging from carpets and rugs to fabrics and furnishing items were promoted and recognised during Wool Week with the OneWool social media and in-store activity.
Wool Interior Design Competition
Continuing the success of Wool House, the Campaign launched a wool room design competition in association with Homes & Gardens and endorsed by leading industry associations including KLC School of Design.
The competition had three different entry levels including professional, student and amateur to encourage the use of wool textiles within the home. The three winning entries are to be photographed for a Home & Garden feature in April 2014 and displayed at a future design event. Winners will receive a bespoke design rug by Brintons.
