Solidwool completely turns the way wool is used on its head - telling the story of the origin of the material and creating a talking point for sustainable design. The Hembury Chair shows us that eco-conscious furniture doesn’t have to be complicated. We use the equivalent of one whole fleece in each chair, turning unwanted wool into considered sustainable design that is also beautiful.
Introducing Solidwool Colour.
We have found a way to revisit colour in Solidwool, developing an inspired and natural palette using our hardy Welsh Mountain wool. Contemporary and timeless, these new colours are a response to our surroundings - from moss and ochre-tinged lichen to the ancient stone and bark they grow on.

Solidwool now contains twice the amount of wool, and half the volume of bio-resin, meaning this incredible composite has an even higher natural content. Better for us and better for our planet.

Solidwool was born from the idea to turn an unwanted, underused fibre into sustainable design with purpose. Rewriting the story of Herdwick wool, and finding its value again.

This is not just any chair… this is a chair to promote the incredible opportunities of working with wool and to contribute towards the wider issues of sustainability, climate change and the farming community. It is a chair with a big story to tell.

With the Roger Oates team providing valuable support and drive for Solidwool, last year we were able to expand our shared workshop in Devon and develop the production of the Hembury Chair. This means we now have the facilities and time to experiment further with this beautiful material, meaning lots of exciting things to come for 2023…
