Feltouch’s new product line, featuring the tranquil Zen Collection and the versatile Sea Urchin acoustic lighting, showcases a bold integration of sustainable recycled materials with innovative design.

Feltouch, a leader in sustainable and innovative acoustic solutions, has raised the bar for eco-conscious interior design with its latest product launches. Blending environmental responsibility with cutting-edge aesthetics, Feltouch’s creations aim to enhance interiors while addressing the growing demand for sustainable materials. At the heart of their philosophy lies a commitment to the principles of the circular economy, as demonstrated by their diverse offerings crafted from recycled PET materials.

Reimagining Interiors with Zen Gardens-Inspired Tranquility

The Zen Collection, crafted by German designer Alexander Rehn, is one of Feltouch’s most tranquil and visually captivating innovations. Inspired by the timeless serenity of Japanese Zen gardens, this collection transforms spaces into peaceful sanctuaries. It includes versatile acoustic panels measuring 120×240 cm, suitable for both wall and ceiling applications. These panels come in sleek edge finishes for modern aesthetics or seamless, borderless designs for a minimalist look.

Beyond its static panels, the Zen Collection includes mobile dividers and desk partitions, extending its functionality to dynamic work environments. The desk divider, in particular, has garnered praise for its ability to create private, quiet workspaces while maintaining an elegant appearance. The Zen line is perfectly tailored for offices, libraries, and residential spaces where calmness and focus are paramount.

What sets the Zen Collection apart is its ability to marry acoustic performance with artistic design. By effectively dampening noise while offering a visually soothing presence, it embodies a holistic approach to interior enhancement. Rehn’s design philosophy shines through in every detail, creating a product family that is as functional as it is beautiful.

Sea Urchin: A Sustainable Lighting Marvel

Sustainability meets innovation in the Sea Urchin lighting solution, designed by Hande Özge Canlıer of the Feltouch Design Team. Drawing inspiration from the intricate, symmetrical structures of sea urchins, this lighting piece combines aesthetic charm with acoustic performance. Made from Feltouch’s proprietary felt containing 50% recycled PET, the Sea Urchin exemplifies the company’s dedication to sustainable production practices.

Measuring 18 cm in height and 65 cm in diameter, the Sea Urchin is versatile in its applications. It can be installed as a pendant light, surface-mounted fixture, or even a wall-mounted accent, making it suitable for a wide range of environments. Whether used in a corporate office, boutique hotel, educational setting, or upscale restaurant, the Sea Urchin delivers both form and function.

One of the standout features of this lighting solution is its ability to simultaneously enhance the acoustics and aesthetics of a room. By absorbing ambient noise while serving as a visual centerpiece, the Sea Urchin elevates the functionality of interior spaces. This dual-purpose design reflects Feltouch’s innovative approach to solving common challenges in modern interiors.

A Commitment to Sustainable Innovation

In addition to these flagship products, Feltouch continues to expand its offerings with sustainable innovations. The Zero Brick Wall Panels, part of the company’s Zero Burn project launched in 2020, exemplify this commitment. Made entirely from 100% recycled Feltouch material, these panels are a sustainable solution for interior design. They align with circular economy principles, offering a low-carbon alternative for walls and partitions.

Feltouch also unveiled its Light Box walls at Orgatec. Crafted from unpainted 1 mm-thick Feltouch fabric stretched over metal frames, these walls deliver both acoustic and lighting benefits. Their minimalist design complements a variety of interiors, providing practical solutions without compromising on aesthetics.

Color enthusiasts will appreciate Feltouch’s expanded Mandarin range, now featuring 53 vibrant hues, including 13 new shades. This development ensures that designers and architects have greater flexibility when incorporating Feltouch products into their projects, reinforcing the company’s focus on versatility and user-centric design.

With its latest innovations, Feltouch has positioned itself as a pioneer in sustainable design. Its products not only address functional needs but also set new standards for aesthetic and environmental responsibility.
