Mono Wool – Regenerative Softness

by Michelle Mueller · Germany · ONA1198 · Published 23 Feb 2026
About this material

Mono Wool is a 100% wool upholstery – designed to be local, recyclable and socially responsible.

In Europe tonnes of raw wool are produced as a waste product, as the fibres are too coarse for clothing. However, coarse wool can be used as an excellent upholstery material, as its fibres have a special bounce.

The Mono Wool cover is a 3D knitted structure with hollow spaces, filled with wool padding. With this 3D knitting technology, the upholstery fabric can be extracted by the machine as a finished part, eliminating the need for manual work-intensive processing steps.

The yarn as well as the padding’s supply chain stays within Central Europe.

Elbwolle, a local manufacturer of wool yarn, deserves special mention. The company works and produces in close contact with shepherds and is rebuilding local supply chains for wool yarns and clothing.
