Ronel Jordaan, a textile designer for 28 years is mainly inspired by nature and gives free reign to her imagination using felt as a preferred medium. This utilitarian material has been used for centuries and is made of wool fibres that interlock as they are rubbed together. Thanks to its malleable texture, the felt she combines occasionnally with other natural fibres such as cotton or silk gives Ronel the freedom to create anything she can imagine. Her product range includes rock cushions, scatter cushions, screens, curtains, throws, scarves and pebble carpets. Ronel has also trained a group of women in the art of felting. These women produce the designs with her and have now started creating their own designs with her help. Ronel lives and works in Johannesburg (Gauteng, South Africa).
