FilzFelt, an industry leader in sustainable acoustic products that feature 100% Wool Design Felt, introduces Mosaik, an acoustic wall application that uses automation to customize and assemble mosaics from any source of inspiration.
Mosaik patterns, large and small, are created with 2-inch individual square tiles—available in over ninety colors of Wool Felt—that are designed to fit together seamlessly for simple and straightforward installation.
Mosaik was developed in partnership with Artaic. Based in Boston, the Artaic team specializes in creating and fabricating custom mosaics through an innovative approach that combines traditional mosaic techniques with modern design tools and automation.
Unique Reuse
FilzFelt is passionate about sustainability and the use of natural materials. 100% Wool Design Felt is a nonwoven textile made from sheep’s wool, water, and plant-based textile dyes, making it biodegradable with the ability to be commercially composted. FilzFelt is entirely landfill-free; offcut material is donated and available for purchase on the website.
Sharing the FilzFelt passion for sustainability, the Artaic team cleverly explored an innovative solution for repurposing felt offcuts as a new product. The outcome is Mosaik, a customizable wall tile that combines the sound-softening magic of pure wool felt, the tradition of centuries-old mosaic craft, and the modern technology behind Artaic. Mosaik is assembled from felt left over from architectural product manufacturing.
Introducing Five Mosaik Designs by Kelly Harris Smith
FilzFelt celebrates the launch of Mosaik with the introduction of five designs by Boston-based designer Kelly Harris Smith. When piecing together designs using Mosaik, Kelly drew inspiration from both traditional textile patterns and those of German textile artist Anni Albers. Her collection of sound-absorbing designs includes an array of playful patterns that put a new spin on the ancient art of mosaics. The collection is Kelly Harris Smith’s fifth collaboration with FilzFelt.
Checker puts a contemporary twist on a classic motif; the timeless textile pattern Gingham finds a new home as a completely customizable acoustic wallcovering; Twill, has the appearance of a woven fabric; Waffle playfully combines up to four colors with visual depth and dimension; Weave features a bold pattern of intersecting and overlapping colors.
All five designs are completely customizable using any of the more than ninety colors of 100% pure wool felt available from FilzFelt.
