The roof lining of Henk Sloetjes’s Cadillac was full of moth holes. For twenty years he looked for a way to mend the damage. Woolfiller came and repaired. The battle against the passage of the time has been temporarily won.

A collection of carpets with interesting signs of wear is expanding. Two textile techniques merge: the refined knotting of the old carpet gets slowly overgrown by the felting process. The first technique reserved for sophisticated designs of flowers and gardens, the latter for nomads.
Platform21 organized in 2009, Platform21=Repairing. An exhibition with the motto: Stop Recycling. Start Repairing.
For five months Woolfiller had a workshop in the exhibition. It also went with the repair Road Show to festivals such as De Parade en Site2F7 in Museum de Paviljoens in Almere.

A delegation of designers and makers from the exhibition Platform21=Repairing travelled to New York in September 2009 to inject new life into an old period house. Heleen Klopper repaired carpets, textiles and clothing. This formed part of the Pioneers of Change project: a presentation of contemporary Dutch Design held on Governors Island in New York.
