Walking with wool
As a material partner of Pforzheim University, we were thrilled to see the results of our wool felts: Philipp Remus' bachelor's thesis resulted in two prototypes - a welted brogue and a CNC-milled sneaker - which position felt as a high-performance material.
* Handcrafted brogue made of wool felt - traditional shoemaking meets ecological felt structure
* Digitally milled sneaker - precise shaping, minimal waste
