Light as air with warmth that adjusts to our internal thermostats, down and feathers are natural, environmentally recyclable and its manufacture requires a far lower carbon footprint than synthetic materials to keep us warm. Natural … warm … green.
Down
Down is a unique insulator only found with three families of animals, ducks, geese, and swans. Almost all down is coming exclusively from the meat industrie and is considered as a by-product. After extensive washing and treatment a noble, light, and soft insulator is obtained which has proved to be one of the best (in not the best) insulator on the market.
Feathers
the perfect material for support
When down and feathers are processed the lightest elements and more heavier feathers are sorted to obtain different quality levels. Every level contains feathers of a different size, all having their own characteristics.
Because of these different quality levels feathers are perfect to use in a mix to add specific characteristics such as resilience and to reduce the price.
