Trunkt :: Papaver Vert

Location: Alameda, Ca
Patty Benson started Papaver Vert in 2007 turning her small apartment into a small creative studio in Northern California. Based on form, function and bold color, Patty crafts contemporary vessels for the home. Each design is hand crocheted, wet felted and sculpted from wool and mohair, creating simple, beautiful and functional art with a contemporary twist.

Feeling that home accessories shouldn't just be limited to ceramic or glass, and that felted wool doesn't have to mean something old-school, she loves the idea of taking the ancient technique of felting to design something entirely new
