About Slow Wool Collection Eco Design Furniture
The Slow Wool Collection is a set of blankets and pillows made for the home. Only natural sheep's wool from South Tyrolean shepherds is used. The wool is processed into blankets and pillows in small local manufactories. Standard sizes are offered, and pieces can also be made to measure. The packaging is fully recyclable, and boxes from the store are reused for shipping. Fair prices are paid to the shepherds and to the partner manufactories. The design is timeless and minimalist, and supports a slower and more mindful way of living.

2021 - Operation Flow
- To live more consciously and more slowly, to reflect on the simple things... that's is the startup's philosophy of slow living. This new spirit has been developing for a number of years, but especially in these days and age it develops further and further. So by today, it has also arrived in the interior sector. And Slow Wool Collection - a concept for mindfulness, deceleration and sustainability in our homes - is based precisely on this philosophy of life.
- Research
- Fair prices for the shepherds themselves and for our partner manufactures are paid in order to support fair working conditions.
- Inspiration
- The startup Slowli Concept was founded in Italy in 2020. Since then, it produces furniture and accessories like the Slow Wool Collection in collaboration with local manufactories, social workshops and independent artists and designers. With every one of these interior pieces made in real handwork from local raw materials, it aims to bring conscious deceleration and mindfulness into a home.
