the new flanno fabric used to upholster the seating pieces of the ‘hiroshima’ series is made from 100% wool in denmark. the difference between the existing ‘mix flanno’ fabric (made in japan), is the six color variations: green, orange, bordeaux, deep green, brown and navy, which are now available. these shades are born from two kinds of sheep’s wool (mountain sheep’s dark brown wool and bright white wool), which are mixed together carefully and then dyed.
