Selected Natural Materials

Selection is at the heart of our practice. Each sheepskin is chosen individually for the qualities that set it apart - the depth and nuance of its tone, the character of its wool, its texture, structure and natural variation. Every hide is selected with a close eye for the qualities that make it right for its intended place and purpose.

The Right Material Shapes the Design.

Atelier Partnership offers selected designers, furniture makers and brands privileged access to BääBää’s materials and bespoke expertise.

Partners gain access to individually selected sheepskins beyond the standard collection, including distinctive hides, carefully curated material selections and project-specific compositions. Where required, BääBää can develop bespoke dimensions, forms and material solutions exclusively around the needs of the project.

Each collaboration begins with a private consultation and a close understanding of the creative direction. From the first material selection to the finished application, BääBää works alongside the partner to shape the material, considering tone, texture, scale, proportion and execution as one cohesive whole.

Atelier Partnership is intentionally limited. It is reserved for projects where a closer relationship with the material, greater access to selected hides and a more personal level of collaboration are essential to the result.

Distinctive projects begin with understanding the material.

Where Our Materials Belong

Our sheepskins become part of interiors, upholstery and design projects. Each material brings its own texture, tactile character and distinctive presence to the space.

Interior Projects

Bespoke solutions for private residences and distinctive spaces.

Upholstery

Sofas, armchairs, benches and bespoke furniture.

Interior Textiles

Cushions, seat pads and considered interior details.

Design Projects

Curated Materials & Bespoke Solutions for Design Projects

Made to Order

Bespoke Creations in Genuine Sheepskin

When an existing solution does not meet the needs of a project, we develop bespoke pieces and tailored solutions from carefully selected natural materials.

Each project is developed around its intended application, the character of the material and the requirements of the final finish.

Discover the Character of Our Materials

Every material has its own character - expressed through texture, structure, tone, movement and touch. These qualities are not simply details; they shape how the material can be used and what it can become.

Our Material Library brings these qualities together, allowing you to explore the differences between materials and find the one that is right for your space, application or project.

Material sourcing — sourcing specific or specialist natural materials beyond the standard collection.
Custom development — developing bespoke dimensions, shapes, compositions and material applications.
Product development — working from an initial concept through samples and prototypes to a finished product.
Upholstery & applications — developing sheepskin applications for furniture, interiors and other design elements.
Small and larger quantities — from individual pieces and one-off commissions to coordinated project deliveries and production runs.
Project coordination — aligning material selection, development, production and delivery with the project requirements.

The Individuality of Natural Materials

Every sheepskin is unique. Natural variations in tone, texture, wool structure and shape are not imperfections - they are part of the material's character. We select for these differences rather than trying to make every piece uniform. This allows the natural qualities of each material to remain visible and gives every finished piece its own tactile character.
