BAUX Acoustic Felt

BAUX continues to push boundaries — launches new material made out of 100% traceable textile offcuts

BAUX introduces a new sustainable and innovative acoustic product: BAUX Acoustic Felt. The acoustic felt is made out of up-cycled fabric offcuts combined with a low melt polyester fibre, which gives the material a unique structure. The offcuts consist

of 100% polyester-based threads, sourced from the Swedish textile industry. Designed by the award-winning design studio Form Us With Love, BAUX Acoustic Felt is available since June 2021.

“BAUX Acoustic Felt has been on our radar since day two. The material has great absorptive qualities, is environmentally sustainable and aesthetically warm and appealing. But as

always when we set our eyes on new inventions, we’re grounded in the belief that if we are going to make a product at all, it needs to be future proof,” says John Löfgren, Co-Founder of Form Us With Love and Co-Founder of BAUX. Instead of producing new plastic materials to create the product, BAUX made the acoustic felt out of recycled textile offcuts from the well-established Swedish textile manufacturer Ludvig Svensson.

The idea is to save resources by making use of waste from already manufactured materials and re-applying it in new products. The material is created by combining 100% polyesterbased

threads with an energy efficient polyester fibre. “The BAUX Acoustic Felt range solves most issues that an office needs to address both today and tomorrow and pushes boundaries in terms of what’s business-as-usual. And, just as with all BAUX collections, when you invest in a BAUX Felt system, you can be sure it’s going to last. We’re making it easy to update, replace and extend all the components so the system keeps up with your needs over a very long period of time,” says Lina Schleenvoigt, CEO, BAUX.  

All material sourcing is done together with the renowned The Loop Factory. Another advantage of the environmentally efficient upcycling process used to produce BAUX Acoustic Felt is that it does not put additional pressure on the industry. “It was hugely important for us that we produce BAUX Acoustic Felt in a way that wouldn’t generate any offcuts or excess material of our own. Our solution for BAUX Acoustic Felt in which we carefully press – never glue – the textile into a single standardized sheet manages that. From this sheet, every panel in the BAUX Acoustic Felt system is precisely cut and shaped,” says Fredrik Franzon, COO and Head of Product, BAUX.
