Felt painting Imperfectus XXI – Vilt & Vlow | 43 × 33 cm

Imperfectus XXI is a felt painting by Vilt & Vlow in soft grey-beige and natural tones. Horizontal textile layers, frayed edges and a fine shiny detail give the calm surface depth. The work measures 43 × 33 cm and is finished in a wooden floater frame.

Texture & layering

The character of Imperfectus XXI lies in the small differences. The soft felt surface forms the basis for a composition of overlapping bands. A woven strip with loose threads breaks up the surface and gives the strict rectangle an irregular, soft line.

Above this frayed edge, a fine shiny detail runs through the work. It forms a subtle counterpoint to the matte texture: not overtly present, but a detail you discover up close. The horizontal layers cast small shadows, giving the surface more depth.

From a distance, Imperfectus XXI looks calm and understated. Up close, the fibres, the woven structure and the loose threads become visible. It is precisely this alternation between a calm composition and an irregular surface that aligns with the character of the Imperfectus series.

Calmness & texture

This felt painting brings softness and a serene atmosphere to the wall, without the need to add pronounced colour. The grey-beige tones keep the overall look calm, while the layered textile prevents the surface from looking flat. The wooden floater frame adds a warm border.

Beautiful above a sideboard, next to a cabinet or in a calm seating area. Give the work some space around it, so that the subtle colour differences and the horizontal composition can come into their own.

Styling tip from Noii HOME

Combine Imperfectus XXI with natural wood, linen and ceramics. The soft textile forms a beautiful contrast with a smooth plastered wall or a sleeker piece of furniture.

Imperfectus XXI also looks beautiful in combination with other works from the Imperfectus series. Alternate sizes and textures for a calm, cohesive wall composition in which each work retains its own character.

For example, next to the smaller Imperfectus XIX measuring 23 × 23 cm. The light tones connect the works, while the horizontal composition of XXI and the vertical surfaces of XIX provide variety. Next to Imperfectus XVIII, a combination is created between the calmer grey-beige tones of XXI and the warmer, earthier tones of XVIII. Leave some space between the works, so that each retains its own character.
