At ease
Considered choices in home furnishings are the ultimate in self-care.
At first glance, the overwhelming appeal of Wilson & Dorset’s range of beanbags, cushions and rugs is surely due to its warm and characterful cosiness. They’re made for sinking into for instant relaxation.
But there’s also peace of mind in knowing that beyond the feeling of luxury is a host of far-reaching benefits not only for the health of family members, but that are also environmentally responsible.
There are a multitude of positives when it comes to choosing a sheepskin for your home.
• Hypoallergenic: Sheepskins are naturally antimicrobial and hypoallergenic, thanks to the lanolin in the fibres. This naturally occurring wax is both antibacterial and antifungal.
• Breathable: Sheepskins’ efficient insulating properties trap warm air, providing a cosy and inviting environment in winter, while its breathable structure and moisture- absorbing abilities help keep you cool and dry in summer.
• Safe: A tanned sheepskin is resistant to a short-time exposure to fire with temperatures up to 200°C.
• Clean: The lanolin acts as a protective barrier, preventing water from deeply penetrating the fibres. This makes sheepskin resistant to soiling with minimal maintenance.
• Durable: With basic care, sheepskins can endure decades of use – a worthwhile investment for families seeking sustainable and resilient home furnishings.
• Biodegradable: Unlike synthetic alternatives, sheepskin is fully biodegradable. At the end of its life
cycle, it naturally decomposes within six months, reducing environmental impact.
• Ethical: Wilson & Dorset sheepskins are responsibly sourced from New Zealand. Further, it has partnered with Wise Wool for the wool inners, a natural and renewable resource.
Wilson & Dorset pieces are designed to be fun, dynamic and interactive for a soft and textural sensory experience, and yet have a minimal and contemporary aesthetic for easy living. Warm colours connect to nature and are inspired by the Wa ̄naka landscape, where the company is based.
