FilzFelt

FilzFelt We sell felt. FilzFelt carries German-milled 100% wool felt with acoustic and textural solutions for the wall, floor, and everywhere in between.

FilzFelt combines the German word for felt, Filz, with the English. (Since we're Americans importing German felt, it seems like the right fit!) Our product line includes German-milled 100% Wool Design Felt and felt products for the floor, the walls, and everywhere in between. Plus, we offer full custom fabrication services. FilzFelt was founded in 2008 by two felt-loving designers, Kelly Smith and

Traci Roloff, on a little street in the South End of Boston. Kelly had discovered German felt when, while working as an intern architect, she began making laptop bags for coworkers and design-savvy friends. She fell in love with wool felt immediately: it was modern, durable, and vegetarian. She founded Etcetera Media in 2005, manufacturing a line of home goods and personal accessories made from this magical material. Meanwhile across town, Traci worked in corporate interior design and historic preservation but had the itch to strike out on her own. She and Kelly met through a fortuitous t-shirt transaction on Etsy.com and soon an opportunity arose to import and distribute the felt that Kelly had worked with for years. With a few thousand dollars and a very cozy 100-square-foot studio space, Kelly and Traci began their business. Their mission: to bring this previously difficult-to-source material to the masses, specifically the design community. They wore many hats along the way, doing everything from hand cutting samples to receiving shipments to being the customer service department. Kelly and Traci continued to work part-time at other design offices in order to sustain FilzFelt, until 2011 when Knoll, Inc. + Spinneybeck acquired the company. Since then, the business has grown by leaps and bounds. Kelly and Traci continue to maintain integral directorial roles at FilzFelt and are still very much felt sellers at heart. Having come from design backgrounds, they have the knowledge and experience to work with architects, designers, and contractors to provide innovative solutions to common (and uncommon) design challenges.

“I think everyone will associate these wavy forms with their own experiences because it’s a frequently recurring motif in nature. Whether it’s the memory of a day at the sea, wind tracks in the sand, or gentle waves of grass, I think the design will resonate with everyone.”

A design inspired by nature in a material that comes from nature. Learn more about Arc by FilzFelt designer Bernd Benninghoff at the link in bio.

The team at Architecture Research Office has long been fascinated with the patterning and overlapping of exterior siding and cladding. From roofing to shingles, the play of light and shadow throughout the day across these surfaces has been a source of inspiration.

With the ARO Shingle collection, the team has brought these dynamic designs inside, recreating the overlapping patterns with soft, wool felt panels that install in continuous patterns and play with light and shadow in the same way these exterior applications do, all while softening sound and bringing a softness to the space.
