Velvet Tingle is one out of a series of 5 rugs/tapestries specially made for Objects with Narratives. Fuzzy Friends are physical representations of the soft spots in our mind, places we retreat to when we need to recharge. Tactile moments of warmth that bring us to our favourite memories. Velvet Tingle is the golden sweetness patches of a flirt. Glowing clouds like the kindness of a stranger. The softness of the first spring flowers. A light hand on your shoulder. A garden on your floor, chair or couch. Can on request come with hanging system for wall use.

About the designer

Originally from Sweden, artist and designer Alfhild Kulper is based in Amsterdam. She studied at Central Saint Martins University of the Arts London. Having spent the last 10 years as a fashion designer for Viktor & Rolf, she has recently turned her practice from dressing the body towards dressing our living spaces.
It started with a sudden, but very strong longing. Only realised after, that the intense longing for making something physically soft was tied to the longing for a more empathic and emotional environment.
The tactility felt like a counterpart to our digital lives. And the organic shapes, craftsmanship and design based on intuition aims to create soft, safe spaces in times of uncertainty.
