This unexpected baffle features 100% Wool Design Felt on a thin 10mm-thick acoustic substrate which is cut and folded into a symmetrical ‘V.’ The baffle comes in customizable length and choose from over ninety colors. And although suspension hardware is a necessity, it doesn’t need to be the center of attention. The flexible suspension and mounting options of ARO Baffle V1 are sleek and minimal while also making installation a breeze.

Maintenance Vacuum occasionally to remove general air-borne debris. Should soiling occur, spot clean with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid aggressive rubbing as this can continue the felting process and change the surface appearance of the felt. Refer to 100% Wool Design Felt Maintenance + Cleaning for detailed care instructions.
Variation Wool felt is a natural material and color variation and inclusions of natural fiber on the surface are evidence of the 100% natural origin of the material. Product color is only indicative, as it is not possible to assure consistency of color in a natural product due to the natural color of raw wool and absorption of dyes. Color matching cannot be guaranteed between individual baffles and expect color variation beyond the normal commercial range.
