Nest Baffle

Nest Baffle

FilzFelt’s playful series of hanging acoustic baffles, conceived by designer Kelly Harris Smith, can be arranged in numerous configurations. Fabricated with wool and pre-consumer recycled content, the baffles are 100% recyclable. Nest Baffle achieves 0.7 NRC, and is available in half-round, quarter-round, and linear shapes, and 95 colors. They are all made to order and can be customized in height.

Recycled WoodStone

Recycled WoodStone Wall Panels

Made from industrial wood scrap, these wall panels have an interlocking-edge design that creates tight seams and speeds installation. Each segment’s components are in a pattern randomized to make it appear pleasingly accidental. The panels are available in maple, oak, and mahogany, and offered in varied textures. Each panel is 19½" × 7½".

WoodWorks MicroPerforated

WoodWorks MicroPerforated Ceiling Panels

These ceiling panels, newly added to Armstrong’s WoodWorks collection, use barely visible perforations to provide enhanced noise reduction. When paired with acoustic fleece, the panels deliver up to 0.7 NRC. They are available in 12 standard veneers and custom finishes, and, with a ¼" reveal, offer a monolithic appearance and nearly imperceptible suspension systems.

Pantheon

Pantheon Ceiling Panels

Turf’s coffered acoustic ceiling panels can, without trimming, easily accommodate mechanical elements or lighting. They are made with 60% PET felt, and are Red List Free and REACH-compliant. The panels are offered in dozens of colors, and their standard size is 24" × 24" × 4". Tiles can be specified with wood and stone textures, and custom sizes, depths, and colors are available.

Rampart Fiber

Jurors' Pick Rampart Fiber Wood Veneers

Wolf-Gordon’s line of wood veneers now includes a USDA-certified plant-based sustainable alternative, made with renewable flax fibers and bioresins rather than PVC or petroleum-based components. This wallcovering comes in 14 colorways, is scratch- and impact-resistant, and bleach-cleanable. The standard sheet sizes are 4' wide with lengths of 8', 9', 10', or 12'.

“It’s exciting to see new types of renewable crops used in architectural products, but it is a bonus when the material, flax fibers in the case of Rampart, is highlighted in a beautiful way.”
- Megumi Tamanaha, studio director, ARO

Artefino

Artefino Tiles

This collection of textured tiles offers a wide selection of shapes, treated in a choice of jewel tones, pastels, metallics, and matte colors. The tiles are made with water, clay, sand, feldspar, and other minerals, and contain zero VOCs, PVC, allergens, or formaldehyde. They are waterproof, stainproof, freeze-resistant, dent-proof, and easy to clean. Sizes vary depending on shape.

Tapestra

Tapestra Ceiling Modules

Arktura’s new collection of acoustic-ceiling modules uses flexible PET felt to realize undulating designs and patterns. These cable-hung modules are composed of interwoven curved acoustic ribbons to create unique forms.
