Merino Wool Felt Decorative Basket | Minimalist Tray | MATT™
A dedicated place for the small everyday objects that tend to get misplaced or create clutter. Made from Merino wool felt, the MATT™ basket keeps keys, jewelry, glasses, cables, and other essentials within easy reach while helping keep surfaces clear.
The MATT™ storage basket in 100% Merino wool felt creates a dedicated place for the small everyday objects that tend to accumulate on countertops, desks, bedside tables, or entryway consoles.
Keys, wallet, glasses, jewelry, AirPods, cables, skincare products, or small accessories: the basket helps keep frequently used objects together, visible, accessible, and easy to find, while helping maintain clear, uncluttered surfaces.
Crafted from one continuous sheet of 100% Merino wool felt, folded at the four corners, it creates a lightweight yet structured form without a rigid frame. Its soft edges keep objects contained while providing a gentle surface for furniture and delicate items.
Unlike rigid catchall trays made from plastic, metal, or ceramic, Merino wool felt provides a soft and quiet surface for glasses, jewelry, watches, electronics, and other everyday essentials.
Designed by an architect and made in Québec, the MATT™ basket transforms a simple storage object into an everyday essential, designed to organize without adding visual clutter to the home.

Why Use 100% Merino Wool Felt for Storage?
Merino wool felt offers several qualities that make it particularly well suited to everyday objects.
Its surface is soft and quiet, unlike rigid trays made from metal, ceramic, or plastic. Objects can be placed down without hard contact, making it especially suitable for jewelry, glasses, watches, and small electronics.
Its density also allows it to maintain a structured form while remaining flexible enough to be handled, moved, or completely unfolded.
And because it is made from 100% Merino wool, the basket offers a natural alternative to organizers made from plastic, polyester, or other synthetic materials.
A Desk Organizer
On a desk, the basket helps contain the small objects that tend to spread across the workspace: cables, earbuds, AirPods, pens, USB drives, glasses, or small electronic accessories.
By creating a defined place for these items, it helps keep the work surface clearer while keeping everyday essentials within reach.
Its wool felt construction also allows objects to be placed down more quietly than on a rigid tray.
An Entryway Catchall
Placed near the door, a larger size can serve as a catchall for the essentials you need when leaving the house.
Keys, wallet, phone, glasses, and other everyday items can be kept together in one place, making them easier to find.
The basket helps create a simple routine: place essential items in the same spot rather than searching for them when you need them.
Soft Storage for Jewelry and Delicate Objects
The 100% Merino wool felt surface provides a soft resting place for jewelry, watches, glasses, and other small items you may prefer not to place directly on a hard surface.
Used on a bedside table, dresser, or vanity, the basket helps keep delicate objects together while creating a soft layer between them and the furniture below.
Can It Be Used as a Dice Tray?
Yes. The felt surface creates a soft, defined area for rolling dice while helping reduce the sound of impact against the table.
The raised edges also help keep dice contained during play. Because the basket can be completely unfolded and rolled, it is easy to transport for board games and tabletop role-playing games.
Our Signature Felt
Our signature felt is made from 100% natural Merino wool, carefully selected for its density, durability, and naturally soft feel.
The wool fibers are compressed to create a dense, stable material that maintains its structure while remaining flexible. This balance allows the basket to hold its form without requiring a rigid frame.
Unlike thinner decorative felts, our felt is selected for everyday use and designed to maintain its appearance over time.
Merino wool also brings a natural, warm, and tactile texture that allows the basket to integrate quietly into different spaces throughout the home.
A Design That Unfolds Completely Flat
The MATT™ basket is made from one continuous piece of 100% Merino wool felt folded at the four corners.
This simple construction allows the basket to unfold completely flat for easier care, reshaping, storage, or transport.
Once folded again, it returns to its three-dimensional form without requiring any additional structure.
This approach reflects our design philosophy: reduce the number of components and allow material and function to determine the form.
Care
For everyday care, use a lint brush or vacuum to remove dust and loose fibers.
When needed, spot clean with cold water and mild soap, then allow the felt to air dry completely.
If the basket loses some of its shape, unfold it completely and use a warm steam iron or garment steamer to help restore the felt to its original form.
Care instructions:
- Spot clean only
- Machine washing is not recommended
- Dry clean if needed
- Can be unfolded flat for easier care and reshaping
Designed and Made in Québec
Each MATT™ basket is conceptualized, designed, and made in Québec from 100% Merino wool felt.
Its one-piece folded construction transforms a flat surface into a simple and functional three-dimensional object using minimal components.
Designed for everyday use and made to be kept for years, it reflects our approach: natural materials, clear function, and timeless design.

Can the felt scratch a table or other furniture?
100% merino wool felt provides a naturally soft and flexible surface. Unlike rigid trays made of metal, ceramic, or plastic, it creates a soft layer between your belongings and the furniture underneath.
It is particularly well suited for nightstands, dressers, desks, and console tables where jewelry, watches, glasses, or electronic devices are frequently placed.
Can the basket be used as a dice tray?
Yes. The Compact — 6½ × 5½ × 2½ in works particularly well as a small dice tray.

If the basket loses its shape slightly over time or during transportation, it can be completely unfolded and reshaped using steam.
Can the basket be completely unfolded?
Yes. Each MATT™ basket is made from a single sheet of felt folded at the four corners.
It can be completely unfolded and laid flat for easier cleaning, reshaping, storage, or transportation, then folded back into its original shape.
How do I clean the 100% merino wool felt basket?
For regular care, use a lint brush or vacuum to remove dust and loose fibers.
If needed, spot clean small stains with cold water and mild soap, then allow the basket to air dry completely.
Machine washing is not recommended. A warm steam iron or garment steamer can be used to help the felt regain its shape.
Why does MATT™ create objects from wool felt?
MATT™ was born from my architectural philosophy, where every object is designed with intention. In architecture, materials are chosen not only for their function but also for their ability to create more harmonious, durable, and welcoming spaces. This same approach now guides every product we create.
We believe everyday objects should do more than simply serve a purpose. They should also contribute to our well-being, bring a sense of calm, and integrate naturally into the spaces we inhabit.
By transforming functional objects into timeless essentials, we aim to create products that stand the test of time, find their place naturally in the home, and quietly enhance everyday life.
Why does MATT™ prioritize natural materials?
We believe the materials that surround us influence how we experience our spaces. That is why, whenever possible, we choose natural materials over synthetic alternatives.
Merino wool felt offers a warmth, softness, and authenticity that artificial materials cannot truly replicate. Beyond its technical qualities, it brings a natural character that evolves over time and ages beautifully.
Our goal is not to follow trends, but to create objects that stand the test of time, both in their appearance and quality.
We hope to encourage a more thoughtful approach to consumption: choosing fewer objects, but of higher quality, designed to last and be appreciated for many years.
We believe the most beautiful objects are often the ones we notice the least: simple, functional, and thoughtfully designed pieces that quietly enhance our everyday lives.
Our goal is not to encourage people to buy more, but to create objects they choose once, appreciate every day, and keep for years to come.
Where are MATT™ products made?
All MATT™ products are thoughtfully designed in Québec. Most of our Home Collection is designed and made in Québec, while certain products are designed in Québec and manufactured elsewhere in Canada.
We work with partners who share our commitment to 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 density, durability, and exceptional quality. It is at the heart of every creation and reflects our commitment to designing objects that are durable, timeless, and enjoyable to use every day.
Made from high-quality natural merino wool, it is compressed to create an exceptionally dense, stable, and resilient 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 aesthetics.
What makes our felt different?
Our felt is manufactured according to rigorous industrial standards to ensure consistent density, thickness, and performance from one batch to the next.
Used in various applications where materials are subjected to significant mechanical stress, it is valued for its stability, strength, and durability. This superior quality allows us to create objects that maintain their function, structure, and appearance for many years.
The natural properties of merino wool
Merino wool has remarkable properties that make it a naturally high-performing material.
It is naturally:
- Durable
- Temperature-regulating
- Breathable
- Insulating
- Absorbent
- Antibacterial
- Antistatic
- Moisture-resistant
- Flame-resistant
- Soft to the touch
- Renewable
- Biodegradable
- Able to age beautifully over time
Why choose wool over synthetic materials?
We believe the materials that surround us influence how we experience our spaces.
Wool offers a warmth, softness, and authenticity that synthetic materials struggle to replicate. Beyond its technical qualities, it brings a natural character that evolves over time and develops a patina of its own.
By choosing a renewable natural fiber, we aim to offer a more sustainable alternative to synthetic materials and encourage a more thoughtful approach to consumption.
A naturally renewable material
Wool is a renewable natural fiber obtained from sheep during their regular shearing. Shearing is essential for the health and well-being of many domestic sheep and allows us to harvest a raw material that naturally renews itself each year.
Choosing wool means prioritizing a renewable resource that aligns with a more sustainable approach to designing everyday objects.
Care instructions
Wool felt is naturally easy to maintain.
For regular care, use a lint brush or vacuum to remove dust, pet hair, and loose fibers.
If needed, gently spot clean small stains with cold water and mild soap, then allow the felt to air dry completely.
If the felt loses its shape slightly, a warm steam iron or garment steamer can help restore its original appearance. Thanks to the natural resilience of wool fibers, it responds well to gentle heat.
Care tips:
- Spot clean only
- Machine washing is not recommended
- Dry clean if needed
