VELDEN COLLECTION
VELDEN COLLECTION
Designed by Liset van der Scheer
Taking inspiration from the Bauhaus movement, the pouffes, plaids, and cushions feature eye-catching, harmoniously balanced geometric shapes.
The structured patterns of simple, rectilinear forms, are tinged in soothing Earth tones, reminiscent of those found on the open plains of the Belgian fields, or ‘velden’.
Knitted entirely in merino wool, the Velden collection is the masterful combination of modern style and comfort, interwoven with luxuriously soft textures and beauty nature has to offer.

DESIGNERB - LISET VAN DER SCHEER
After graduating from the Design Academy in Eindhoven she has been working as an independent industrial textile designer and colour expert. 'The importance of designing to me lies in marketing a product that adds to the identity that the consumer wishes to convey at a particular moment in time. In my designs, the challenge lies in applying traditional materials in an innovative way, or in applying new materials to an existing production process. I always try to stretch the bounds of possibility. Looking at colour has become my second nature, and in building designs, be it textiles or carpets, the starting point is always the expression of the yarn'.

CRAFT & MATERIALS
DETAILS
The collection is knitted entirely in merino wool, causing no itchy reactions when touching your skin. Thanks to their long fibers, our Velden accessories do not pill, making our products extremely durable. The Velden plaids are knitted in two layered merino wool, which makes them warmer and softer.
MERINO WOOL
Casalis selected the wool from the beautiful Merino sheep as the most excellent material for some of our soft furnishing collections. Compared to regular wool, Merino wool feels softer to the skin as fibers are much finer, causing no itchy reactions when touching your skin. This makes Merino wool the ultimate wool for the production of plaids, cushions, and pouffes.
KNITTING
These products are manufactured with a knit and wear machine, which means that different manufacturing procedures are combined into one process : knitting and connecting the knitted pieces can be achieved with only one machine, within a single process. The results are seamless products that only need a very small finish.
SPECIFIC MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
- The covers and blankets can be washed according to wool washing directions. Washing by hand is recommended.
- Cold bleaching is not possible. Do not dry in a tumble drier. Warm (not hot) iron.
- The basic footstools can be washed on the surface by hand, only with neutral detergents. It is not the intention to take out the filling consisting out of little balls as it is very hard to replace afterwards.
