In a world where acoustic comfort is more important than ever — from open offices to stylish living spaces — the demand for smart and beautiful solutions continues to rise. Fortunately, Féline’s acoustic materials are evolving rapidly, offering ever more creative answers to today’s design challenges.
So, why is felt the perfect choice for acoustic applications? Let’s break it down.
Felt’s naturally porous fibre matrix works like a miniature labyrinth for sound waves, trapping and diffusing them before they can bounce back into the room. The result is noticeably less echo, clearer speech intelligibility and a calmer overall ambience—whether you’re on a video call in an open-plan office or relaxing in a minimalist living room.
Yet acoustic performance is only half the story. Because felt can be laser-cut, pressed or layered, it lends itself to an incredible range of aesthetics: from understated wall cladding that quietly disappears into the architecture to sculptural ceiling clouds or colour-blocked feature panels that command attention. Choose muted earth tones for a serene, biophilic mood, or lean into saturated hues and graphic cut-outs for a statement piece that doubles as art.
Even better, today’s felts tick the sustainability box. Recycled PET options give plastic bottles a sophisticated second life, while premium wool varieties bring natural warmth and tactility. Lightweight and easy to install—think peel-and-stick tiles or modular frameless panels—our felt solutions make acoustic upgrades painless, even in retrofit projects.
More and more architects and designers are putting environmental impact at the top of their specification lists, and felt—whether made from recycled PET bottles or from responsibly managed sheep—fits that brief perfectly. By giving post-consumer plastics a sophisticated second life or tapping into a naturally renewable fibre, felt keeps raw materials in the loop and diverts waste from landfill.
Unlike many acoustic boards that rely on formaldehyde binders or high-VOC finishes, high-quality PET and wool felts are inherently low-emission and meet the strictest WELL, BREEAM and LEED criteria straight out of the box. They’re light enough to ship flat and install tool-light, which cuts both transport emissions and on-site waste. Just as important, felt panels are built to last: they resist fading, warping and pilling, so they stay in place for decades before being mechanically recycled (PET) or industrially composted (wool). In short, they deliver circularity, clean chemistry and long service life—making them a genuinely sustainable choice from every perspective.
Wall panels, ceiling solutions, freestanding screens — felt is surprisingly versatile. It’s lightweight, easy to cut to size, and available in a wide range of colors and thicknesses, making it ideal for any type of project, from minimalist office interiors to warm hospitality spaces. What truly sets us apart is the soft felt top layer — available in luxurious wool or eco-friendly recycled PET. This refined finish adds depth, warmth, and tactile elegance — qualities increasingly sought-after in interiors designed to soothe, calm, and inspire.
Felt does more than hush the room—it quietly reshapes the atmosphere. The moment you enter a space lined with felt, you sense it: a muffled hush replaces harsh echoes, and the gentle texture instantly softens crisp architectural lines. That tactile warmth bridges the gap between residential comfort and commercial polish, turning stark workstations into inviting hubs and minimalist lounges into cosy retreats.
Because felt catches and diffuses light, it removes glare and lends a velvety depth to walls, ceilings, and furniture fronts. Even a muted grey panel can read as subtly luxurious, while richer colours absorb brightness instead of reflecting it, preventing visual fatigue. Run your hand across the surface and you feel the slight give of densely packed fibres—reassuring, almost like a favourite blanket. In a collaborative workspace, that softness subconsciously signals calm and openness; in a hospitality setting, it wraps guests in an ambience that feels personalised and intimate.
Modern felt materials are often laminated onto a solid backing or made self-adhesive for easy installation. This
ensures you combine the technical performance needed for effective acoustics with a soft, refined visual experience. To guarantee lasting adhesion and a flawless finish, we offer high-quality glue specifically developed for textile and acoustic applications called Eco Glue Forte — making installation reliable and hassle-free.
In the search for innovative, sustainable, and stylish acoustic solutions, felt stands out as the material that has it all. It combines performance with personality, sustainability with design — making it the perfect choice for any interior where acoustics matter.
