FilzFelt Launches Two Nature-Inspired Acoustic Wall Designs: Grain and Reeds

May 8, 2024-FilzFelt, an industry leader in sustainable acoustic products that feature 100% Wool Design Felt, proudly introduces Grain and Reeds, two nature-inspired designs available in over ninety colors of Wool Felt.

Germany-based designer Bernd Benninghoff turned to the foliage of the Canary Islands to inform these fluid, organic designs. The v-grooves that appear in both motifs manipulate light and shadow, creating an effect of subtle movement.

Grain celebrates the variegated details seen in the leaves and bark of the flora indigenous to the Islands.

Reeds, inspired by the local plant life, mimics the swaying of sturdy grasses.

Grain and Reeds bring the outside in, delivering both a natural and organic quality to any setting.

Easily installed with a direct-glue application, Grain and Reeds designs are available in endless color combinations: pair one of ninety colors of pure wool felt with one of three shades of grey Akustika substrate, or layer two colors of 100% Wool Design Felt, with the base color revealed through the undulating v-grooves.
