London-based knitwear designer Melanie Porter turned her skills to home furnishings when she acquired an antique chair that needed reupholstering.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I couldn\u2019t find a fabric I liked, so I instinctively turned to knit,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
Several years later, her growing collection includes a funky \u201970s-era chair covered in the Union Jack, a cushion festooned with ruffly knit \u201ccorsages,\u201d and several pieces upholstered in a cozy, creamy fisherman knit. Porter notes, \u201cIt\u2019s a technique that allows me to position color and texture in precise positions; felting the knit makes it hard-wearing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Like a soft, comfy sweater, the array of knitwear-inspired home decor now on the market is easy to love. Knitting\u2019s a trendy hobby, so it makes sense that furnishings designers want to play with the materials and motifs, too.<\/p>\n

\nPudelskern, a design house in Innsbruck, Austria, creates lamps out of flame-resistant wool. The \u201cGranny\u201d is a pendant lamp cable-knit out of Tyrolean mountain sheep\u2019s wool. Available in ecru and raspberry, it would look just as great in a mountain chalet as an urban loft. \u201cWoozily\u201d is a lampshade crafted from one long, thick wool rope. Available as a pendant, floor or wall lamp, its tumbly tangle of fibers resembles a skein that some large and mischievous tabby got hold of, with a happily elegant result. At night, the effect of light through the soft maze is magical. And the \u201cFeeler\u201d knitted floor lamp looks like a sweater sleeve writ large, with a light bulb where your hand would be.<\/p>\n
