At Solidwool we are always looking for exciting new ways to work with our incredible material, but not everything we do needs to be ‘new’ or follow trends. Instead we dedicate our time to creating enduring and functional design that captures our environment and passion for hardy British wool.
We experimented in colour quite a few years ago now, but stepped away from it to concentrate on perfecting and advancing the Herdwick Hembury chair. With our efforts rewarded, we have found the space to revisit colour in Solidwool, developing an organic and natural palette blending Welsh Mountain wool with seven inspired tones. These colours are a response to our surroundings - from moss and ochre-tinged lichen to the ancient stone and bark they grow on.
Introducing colour has not come without its trials and challenges, but we have found a technique which introduces colour alongside a recycled wool core and we are so pleased with the outcome. The seven complementary tones sit seamlessly alongside each other as well as our original dark grey Herdwick and marbled Welsh Mountain composites, enabling you to choose any number of beautiful combinations for your home. Create striking schemes by combining Tan and Cobalt alongside grounding neutral tones or use Ochre, Forest and Stone to reflect the colours of our ever changing surroundings.
The Solidwool Colour chairs and side tables are available with the same choices of finish as the Herdwick and Welsh Mountain pieces. With scorched or oiled ash legs available for both chairs and side tables, and the added option of recycled steel stacking legs available for the chairs.
