Vertical Bar pushes past average with extra-long projecting bars of wool felt extending vertically. These seemingly simple bars feature three colors of felt selected from almost ninety colorways so the color combination possibilities go on and on. Finish the edges and floor with trim to match plus this clever acoustic panel system contributes to LEED and is 100% VOC free to boot.

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 panels and expect color variation beyond the normal commercial range.
