This is a note following your recent<br />

issue on technology (“Today’s Smart<br />

Home,” July/August <strong>2015</strong>). We make<br />

insulation from sheep’s wool sourced in<br />

New Zealand and processed in Reno,<br />

Nevada. We consider ourselves lucky to<br />

participate in a quest to create awareness<br />

around an old “technology” that<br />

has been not much more than underappreciated<br />

since the proliferation of<br />

synthetics began. Fortunately, amidst<br />

the race to obsolescence, we find an<br />

increasing lot who agree that nature<br />

does indeed do it better.<br />

As a technophobe, it’s exciting to<br />

read how these new, user-friendly technologies<br />

appear to integrate home<br />

management so families can enjoy the<br />

experience of living together (“Today’s<br />

Smart Home,” July/August <strong>2015</strong>). Thanks<br />

for continuing to cover the topics that<br />

are important while remaining true to<br />

your aesthetic vision.<br />

Kudos for recognizing smart technology<br />

(“Today’s Smart Home,” July/August<br />

<strong>2015</strong>), given <strong>Dwell</strong>’s status in emerging<br />

trends, but this is a very complicated<br />

theme. Today there is still no affordable,<br />

usable unifying interface for all home<br />

systems. Everyone is vying for visibility<br />

in that realm without playing nice.<br />
