To present BUREL (a Portuguese handmade fabric, made entirely of Wool, with it’s origin in the mountains) in the Maison&Object trade fair, we’ve designed a 4x4x4m metal structure, that mimics a machine pro-ducing BUREL.

Cutted, sewed, painted, written, twisted, folded, hunged, screwed, col-oured, shaped (3D handmade Stitches) and textured, on ceilings, walls, floors, etc, to exemplify the aesthetical, thermal, insulating and acoustic advantages in it’s applications. A contemporary space to let people know about this beautiful craft and piece of Portuguese story.

BUREL, is a felted wool that became a highly resistant fabric and is per-fect for coatings and several other decoration applications. A very dura-ble and versatile fabric to the covers and coats to the rainy days, snow and cold on the mountain, has evolved into countless ideas, design and architecture solutions, accompanied by a wide range of textures, pat-terns and colours.

Burel is: 100% wool / fire resistant / with high impermeability (water re-sistant) / thermal and acoustic insulation / hygroscopic / anti-electrostatic / abrasion resistance / tough / flexible / natural / agro-product /don’t give off fluff.
