Why Choose a Merino Wool Felt Storage Basket?
Merino wool felt is valued for its density, flexibility and naturally soft texture.
Unlike rigid organizers, its textile surface provides a gentle place for jewelry, glasses, watches and small electronic devices, avoiding direct contact with hard surfaces. It also helps soften everyday sounds when objects are placed or moved.
Made from 100% Merino wool, our signature felt offers a natural alternative to storage accessories made from plastic, polyester and other synthetic materials.
Selected for its quality and durability, the felt maintains a structured shape while remaining flexible enough to be handled, folded and unfolded.
A Design That Unfolds Completely Flat
What makes the MATT™ basket distinctive is its construction: a single sheet of wool felt, folded and fastened at the four corners, transforming a flat surface into a functional three-dimensional object.
The basket can be completely unfolded for easier cleaning, reshaping or storage. It can also be rolled for transport and returns to its original shape once assembled.
This approach reflects our design philosophy: reduce the number of components and let material and function define the form.
A Thoughtfully Organized Workspace
Even the smallest essentials deserve a dedicated place. Pair our Merino wool felt storage basket with our matching Merino Wool Felt Desk Mat and Wool Felt Mouse Pad to create a cohesive, functional and uncluttered workspace.

Care Instructions
For everyday care, use a lint brush or vacuum to remove dust and loose fibers.
When necessary, spot-clean with cold water and mild soap, then allow the felt to air-dry completely. Avoid soaking the material.
If the basket slightly loses its shape, unfold it and gently use a warm steam iron or garment steamer to help restore its structure.
Care recommendations:
- Spot cleaning recommended
- Machine washing not recommended
- Air-dry only
- Dry cleaning when necessary
- Can be unfolded flat for easier cleaning and reshaping

Designed and Made in Quebec, Canada
Every MATT™ basket is thoughtfully designed and made in Quebec from 100% Merino wool felt.
Its single-piece construction and timeless aesthetic reflect our philosophy: natural materials, purposeful design and everyday objects made to last.
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

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
