Can Fovere felt be even more eco-friendly than it already is? It turns out it can! Post-production scraps of our eco-friendly felt material have been given a new lease of life and a stunning artistic form by Anna Lewczuk, a weaving enthusiast from Podlasie.

Anna Lewczuk’s artistic fabrics are a meeting of two worlds: traditional craft techniques and contemporary, sustainable materials. In her works created on a weaving loom, the artist has combined nature, handicrafts and modern design, providing a wonderful example of how Fovere acoustic material can become part of a larger story about harmony, silence and the beauty of nature. Felt, usually used in office, hotel or educational interior design, has taken on a whole new dimension in the artist’s hands – it has combined a functional and emotional aspect, becoming a fabric that not only absorbs sound but also tells a story.

Black panel – tradition in a new context
The black panel is a multi-weft fabric, also known as radziuszka or wileńska. Its pattern is inspired by old Podlasie fabrics that once decorated the interiors of rural homes – covering beds, carts or sleighs.
The fabric was made entirely by hand on a folk loom using four shuttles. The warp is made of black cotton, and the weft consists of thin, soft sand-coloured felt strips. Thanks to their triangular cross-section and dense weave, the fabric has a distinctive structure and a three-dimensional effect.
Dimensions of the presented panel: 70 × 144 cm.

Light panel – landscape in motion
The second work is a light panel, woven using the plain weave technique with interwoven inserts. The warp is made of ecru cotton, and the weft consists of thick felt strips, decorative gold thread and recycled cotton elements.
The delicate, rhythmic transitions of colours and textures refer to the landscape of the Narew dunes – sand moved by the wind, which creates undulating, luminous patterns.
Panel dimensions: 60 × 96 cm.

The third panel, in shades of purple, is a work created as part of a scholarship awarded to the artist by the Marshal of the Podlaskie Province in the field of artistic creation, cultural promotion and monument preservation.
The decorative panel in shades of black, grey and purple is also a multi-coloured fabric called radziuszka. The geometric pattern is a contemporary example of the use of a unique, almost forgotten weaving technique, known, among others, in Podlasie. The pattern and colours were inspired by the sunrise over the Narew River, and the grey-toned Fovere felt provided the composition with this note.
The composition in shades of purple, together with a light-coloured panel, was part of an exhibition of works by Anna Lewczuk entitled FotoSploty, which was presented at the Podlasie Institute of Culture in Białystok from 5 to 19 December.

And a little surprise: we submitted two decorative panels by Anna Lewczuk with Fovere felt – black and light – to the Dobry Design 2026 competition. Today we already know that they are in the TOP 5 in the DECORATIONS category. We are keeping our fingers crossed for a win!
The results of the competition will be announced during the 4 Design Days fair (22 and 23 January 2026). Both fabrics will be on display at the fair, as we will be presenting them at our stand. Come and see us!
