Wool Collection Interiors

The Campaign for Wool (of which HRH The Prince of Wales is patron) celebrate their 5th anniversary with the launch of Wool Collection Interiors.

The Wool Collection Interiors is an edit of wool interior pieces including a selection of specially commissioned items which will be debuted by the Campaign for Wool with an exhibition at London’s Southwark Cathedral during Wool Week (5th-12th October).

As part of this, a whole host of luxury / premium brands have come on board with names such as Jonathan Adler, Christopher Farr, Roger Oates, Designers Guild, Camira Fabrics, Edward Fields by Tai Ping, Margo Selby for Alternative Flooring, Brintons, Brave Production, Assemblyroom, Melin Tregwynt, Solva Woollen Mill, Bute Fabrics, Naomi Paul, Tracy Kendall and Pentreath and Hall with Fine Cell Work being just some of those selected.

All items from the exhibition will go on sale during Wool Week on Campaignforwool.org and the exhibition is open to the general public, offering free admission.

The Campaign officially began in October 2010 with a launch event that saw London’s historic tailoring street Savile Row transformed into a pasture upon which fifty sheep grazed. Over 100 companies participated in Wool Week and thousands of consumers took part in activities such as knitting and felting. Yellow sheep were even spotted queuing outside Selfridges department store on Oxford Street.

2011 saw the launch of Wool Modern, an exhibition opened by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, showcasing the very best in fashion and design in wool. Wool Modern featured the work of seminal designers such as Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood.

The Campaign for Wool was also introduced to key international markets in Australia, Spain, Netherlands, Germany, Norway and Japan.

In 2012, the Campaign presented the first ever ‘Wool House’ the World’s biggest celebration of wool featuring 10 days of interior design, fashion, craftsmanship and textile excitement.

In October 2012, the Campaign launched Wool School, its first major educational initiative. 12 top retailers including Topshop, Hobbs and Jigsaw joined forces with design students at leading universities in order to create a series of wool sweaters which were sold in stores. 5% of profits have been put back into educating the next generation of designers about the benefits of using wool.

In 2012 the Campaign for Wool launched in China, while our 2013 Wool Week celebrations started in September with the launch of Campaign for Wool Italy. They will continue throughout the Autumn season in Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Korea, Japan and China.
