Designer Benjamin Hopkins took inspiration from the state of Minnesota and its cold winters for this line of minimalistic furniture featuring wool felt fabric upholstery.
The 'Parka' furniture collection consists of a book bench, media console and coffee table made from solid ash wood and inspired by Scandinavian design. Each piece of contemporary furniture is also upholstered along its surface in a soft and cozy wool felt fabric thats available in either a light, medium or dark grey coloring.
Each piece makes for a eye-pleasing and cozy piece of modern home decor with a unique fabric twist. With this release, Hopkins proves that sometimes less is more, and a simple design approach is often able to create a big and memorable impression.
