At senscommon each product is carefully considered, from fiber performance to the tactility of materials, evoking a sense of ease and purpose. In our Science Matters features we take you deeper into the science behind the materials we work with. We explain the senscommon design approach, its building blocks: we start at the material level and build from there - source by source, fiber by fiber.
Wool - the finest performance fiber from nature itself
Wool is nature’s finest performance fiber. Beautifully soft and remarkably dry to the touch, wool’s insulating properties help cool you in the heat and insulate you in the cold - qualities no man-made fiber is able to attain. Wool naturally regulates body temperature and is truly the premium all-season and all-weather fiber - just think of the sheep who never need to change or wash their outfit! Another smart side effect is its ability to eliminate body odour, simply because smell generating bacteria cannot grow on wool.
Senscommon wool is sourced with the highest standards of quality and welfare - we ensure certified wool comes from satisfied sheep. We partnered with the German company who guarantee the sheep graze freely and the European wool is mulesing-free.
The first senscommon wool products released take an innovative stance to the classic knitted wool sweater - we sandwiched the virgin wool between two layers of recycled PE, making it the ideal layering material for our . It simulates the comfort of snuggling up in a soft, warm blanket without the fragile aspect of knitted wool products.
At senscommon each product is carefully considered, from fiber performance to the tactility of materials, evoking a sense of ease and purpose. We design for those who never stop - a lifestyle that cannot be held back by any condition. Life is fast. Weather and indoor-outdoor temperatures fluctuate all the time. Doing laundry is not always part of the program.
We need versatile, reliable “gear” for whatever the world throws at us, and this is where these smart natural fibers really shine. They care for our body. Regulating moisture, odour and temperature, the products senscommon makes out of natural fibers travel with you well - on your back, or in the suitcase. This means that washing these pieces on a daily basis isn’t necessary; air-dried overnight, they will seem brand new.
