VillaVolli

The VillaVolli sign refers to textile art and design works handmade in Saaremaa. A machine made in a small production in Finland helps to get a stronger felt surface as the final finish of the carpets.

The natural undyed wool of Kihnu native sheep is mainly used. The black, gray, brownish and white nuances of the soft base and stronger top wool give the felted work an earthy rustic result. Our goal is to find the best suitable products for felting domestic wool.

The art and design pieces of VillaVolli are designed and executed by textile artist Erika Pedak, experimenting with ancient techniques. Together with the interior architect Tambet Pedak, carpets are designed and made to participate in exhibitions. His wife Aet Pedak  as a hobby sheep farmer is also contributing with her ideas. Most of the wool used for felting comes from their farm Riisiku in Saaremaa.

The ram VillaVolli keeps an eye on the farm’s ewe herd. He is still young and with small horns on this photo. As such, he has inspired the design of the logo.
