Design Milk: Modern wall decor brand brand Submaterial has recently re-imagined their most popular wall hanging patterns into wool felt and cork wall coverings.
This can really help reshape and create a more enjoyable environments for office spaces. They seem to be great for drowning out sound and to give the room more a specific. Through the bends, twists, and tonal values, the look that is given to these wall are so unique. And frankly this look would look good anywhere. I wish they could create something like this in orchestra room because of the sound panels that take up a lot of space in the room are inconvenient for shelves. It's seems as though the architect designers don't think about that. But something like these wall would work perfectly.
These are so cool and add an original aesthetic to any space. The new world texture adds something new to any space and could easily be applied to many different places and uses. And if I recall correctly from previous lessons, cork and felt are easily procured from recycled materials and that would be a great movement in interior design - a step in the green direction.
I recently interned at an architecture firm last summer where i sat in on a few meetings/presentations regarding materials and design elements that could change a space. while listening to the comments made by the architects to the material rep their three biggest concerns were cost, aesthetic/quality, and durability. Although cork is not the cheapest material I believe that it adds a modern but warmer feel than metal or concrete in terms of aesthetic and quality. I also think that the durability of cork material is great for architecture and should hold up nicely in an interior environment.
I want them! Rather than a cold and perhaps the unwelcoming atmosphere of metal or brick, these panels would make a room feel smaller or more private. However, my favorite part about them would have to be the materials. Felt and cork have the special properties of being materials made from clusters of other materials. While I'm not sure if this is something that this particular company took into consideration, I believe these awesome panels could be easily made out of recycled and reused material-- it would be an interesting process to go into. It's great when you don't have to sacrifice style for sustainability, and vice versa. I'd be interested to see if this company decides to go green in their business model.
I don't quite understand why these wall pieces are made of wool felt and cork, or what that adds to the pieces, but i really want to pet them because they sound like they would feel really interesting and fun. I really think the designs are really interesting, and the designs repeat together rather hypnotically. I wonder how well these serve to deaden sound.
This is a really interesting idea for both professional and educational environments. They add a calming and fluid style to an environment but also can be extremely useful.I think that these would be a great addition here to some of the design studios and hallways. We are always looking for places to display work and end up posting on top of other peoples assignments or kicking them out of the space. These would add a new and interesting dimension to the style of the third floor and even more importantly, add space for displaying all of the amazing work everyone does here.
Second these panels are $900 for a 4'x 4' sheet. That is some high quality cork and wool there. But other then that I wonder how good they are as acoustic panels? Could they be used as acoustic panels in performance spaces? They are prettier then some of the panels I have seen in different places.
I love wool personally as a fiber to make clothes out of. Which I am not surprised it is a good garment to make wall coverings out of, let the wall stay nice and warm during the winter.
Did any one look at there other stuff it is all quite interesting. Has a very similar to a lot of modern designs that I have seen.

So first off, cork is still going extinct right?
