Wool is a natural fiber harvested from sheep. Sheep’s wool is highly regarded for its crimped, elastic fibers that are easily felted to form a fabric that cannot be pulled apart. This translates into durability, excellent dyeability, resistance to flame and compression, and thermal and sound insulation. Plus, this natural fiber is a rapidly renewable resource (it grows back!) and is 100% biodegradable.

FilzFelt combines the German word for felt, Filz, with the English. Our mill has a long heritage of producing high-quality felt using processes that have been preserved for centuries. Our 100% Wool Design Felt is durable, versatile, and timeless and is featured on our architectural and acoustic product lines including ceiling, floor, wall, and desktop products. 

Our approach to designing with felt is simple: we defer to the material. Together with our sister company, Spinneybeck, we work to transform natural and renewable materials into acoustic and textural solutions for interior and architectural applications.

FilzFelt is the leader in well-designed acoustic materials and products to provide sound absorption and cut down on echo. Our panels and coverings will improve the acoustic experience of work and hospitality environments, while making a bold statement or acting as a subtle backdrop.

FilzFelt provides a variety of custom solutions ranging from the modification of standard products to full bespoke services. Our capabilities include custom colors, cutting (shapes and sizes), stitching, and lamination—as well as full fabrication and installation. Whatever the design or acoustic dilemma, we have a solution for it.

We’re proud to work with designers all over the world with backgrounds in product design, textiles, architecture, and interiors — and who share our passion for natural materials and sustainability. 

We pride ourselves on a collaborative approach to everything we do. Whether it be our Sales and Production teams dedicated to bringing innovative designs to life, the talented people who design our products, or the imaginative interior designers who use them, we thrive on being part of the design process. And at the end of the day, we’re fans of good design and welcome the opportunity to partner with designers and clients who also appreciate the timelessness and beauty of 100% Wool Design Felt.

FilzFelt was founded in 2008 by two felt-loving designers, Kelly Smith and Traci Roloff. While working in architecture and interiors, Kelly and Traci saw an opportunity to bring the natural warmth and acoustic elements of felt to the world of interior design. Starting with felt by-the-yard, hanging panels and floor mats, FilzFelt quickly grew to include a broad collection of clever products designed to enhance interior spaces with this enduring, natural material.
