Why does MATT™ create objects from wool felt?
MATT™ was born from my architectural philosophy, where every object is designed with intention. In architecture, every material is selected not only for its function, but also for its ability to create spaces that are more harmonious, enduring, and enjoyable to live in. That same philosophy guides every product we create today.
We believe that everyday objects should do more than simply serve a purpose. They should contribute to a sense of well-being, bring a quiet presence, and integrate naturally into the spaces we live in.
By transforming everyday essentials into timeless objects, we strive to create products that stand the test of time, blend effortlessly into the home, and quietly elevate everyday living.
Why does MATT™ choose natural materials?
We believe the materials that surround us shape the way we experience our spaces. Whenever possible, we choose natural materials over synthetic alternatives.
Merino wool felt offers a warmth, softness, and authenticity that synthetic materials simply cannot replicate. Beyond its technical performance, it brings a living quality that evolves naturally over time and develops character with age.
Our goal is not to follow trends, but to create objects that endure; both in their aesthetic and in their quality.
We hope to encourage a more thoughtful way of consuming: choosing fewer objects, but choosing them well; products designed to last and be appreciated for many years.
We believe the most beautiful objects are often the ones that draw the least attention: simple, useful, and honestly made pieces that quietly improve everyday life.
Our goal is not to encourage people to buy more, but to create objects that are chosen once, enjoyed every day, and kept for years to come.
Where are MATT™ products made?
Every MATT™ product is thoughtfully designed in Québec. Most of our Home Collection is both designed and made in Québec, while some products are designed in Québec and made in Canada.
We collaborate with partners who share our commitment to exceptional quality, durable materials, and thoughtful craftsmanship, creating objects designed to stand the test of time.
What is our signature felt?
Our signature felt is a premium Merino wool felt carefully selected for its exceptional density, durability, and quality. It is at the heart of every MATT™ creation and reflects our commitment to designing timeless, long-lasting objects that are a pleasure to use every day.
Made from premium natural Merino wool, it is compressed to create an exceptionally dense, stable, and durable material. Unlike thinner decorative felts, its high density allows it to maintain its shape while remaining naturally flexible, offering a unique balance of performance, comfort, and refined aesthetics.
What makes our felt different?
Our felt is manufactured to rigorous industrial standards, ensuring consistent density, thickness, and performance from one production batch to the next.
Used in demanding applications where materials are subjected to significant mechanical stress, it is recognized for its stability, strength, and long-term durability. This exceptional quality allows us to create objects that retain their function, structure, and beauty for years to come.

- Durable

Why choose wool over synthetic materials?
We believe the materials that surround us shape the way we experience our spaces.
Merino wool offers a warmth, softness, and authenticity that synthetic materials simply cannot replicate. Beyond its technical performance, it brings a living quality that naturally evolves over time and develops a beautiful patina unique to every piece.
By choosing a renewable natural fibre, we aim to offer a more sustainable alternative to synthetic materials while encouraging a more thoughtful approach to everyday consumption.
A naturally renewable material
Wool is a renewable natural fibre obtained from sheep that are shorn as part of their regular care. Shearing is essential to the animals' health and well-being while providing a raw material that naturally renews itself year after year.
Choosing wool means choosing a renewable resource that supports a more thoughtful and sustainable approach to designing everyday objects.
Care
Merino wool felt is naturally easy to care for.
For regular maintenance, use a lint brush or vacuum to remove dust, pet hair, and loose fibres.
If needed, gently spot clean with cold water and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely.
Should the felt lose its shape over time, a warm iron with steam or a garment steamer will easily restore its original appearance. Thanks to the natural resilience of wool fibres, it responds exceptionally well to gentle heat.
Care Instructions
- Spot clean only
- Machine washing is not recommended
- Dry clean if necessary
Can Merino wool felt be washed?
Merino wool felt is naturally easy to care for, but it is not designed to be machine washed.
For regular maintenance, use a lint brush or vacuum to remove dust, pet hair, and loose fibres. If needed, gently spot clean with cold water and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely.
Should the felt lose its shape over time, a warm iron with steam or a garment steamer will easily restore its original appearance. Thanks to the natural resilience of wool fibres, it responds exceptionally well to gentle heat.
Why is our felt so durable?
Our Signature Felt is made from premium Merino wool and compressed to rigorous industrial standards to create an exceptionally dense, stable, and durable material.
Its high density allows it to better withstand everyday wear while maintaining its structure and appearance over time. Designed for everyday living, it offers a long-lasting natural alternative to synthetic materials.
Are the cut edges always identical?
Yes. Every MATT™ product is precision cut using CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology, ensuring consistent dimensions, clean edges, and exceptional accuracy from one piece to the next.
Will every piece look exactly the same?
Our Merino wool felt is manufactured to rigorous quality standards to ensure consistent density, thickness, and performance.
Because wool is a natural fibre, subtle variations in colour may occasionally appear within the felt itself or between production batches. These natural variations reflect the authentic character of the material and do not affect the quality, durability, or performance of our products.
Do MATT™ products make good gifts?
Absolutely. With their timeless design, natural materials, and everyday functionality, MATT™ products are designed to be enjoyed for many years.
Whether for a housewarming, wedding, birthday, or holiday gift, they offer a thoughtful and lasting alternative to disposable or short-lived presents. We believe that a beautifully designed, useful object made with care is a gift that continues to bring value long after it is given.
