Hood is a luminaire cherished for its multifaceted features: it provides quality light, pleasant sound absorption, and a decorative expression to interior spaces. A couple of years ago, we curiously examined Hood and asked ourselves how we could enhance it in yet another aspect: material. The luminaire's shade made of molded felt sparked an in-depth exploration to discover new raw materials that could improve our product.

Hood is now acquiring a renewed identity through the use of the natural material wool. By incorporating this material, we enhance the lamp's properties, create unique textures in the shades, and, at the same time, take a step forward in our sustainability efforts.

The thick fleece of the sheep is sheared twice a year, but barely half of the wool is used. Over 50% of wool is burned or discarded in Sweden, while a significant amount is imported from abroad. Through our work with Swedish wool as a material, we hope to contribute to a positive change.

We take pride in our collaboration with Nordifa and Västkustens Ullinsamling, who passionately work to reduce wool wastage in Sweden. Västkustens Ullinsamling collects wool from farms spanning from Ystad to Borlänge, providing us with the opportunity to trace the wool from each Hood shade down to the farm level.
