DESIGN
Weaving the future
6/23/2023
The traditional Swiss textile specialist Création Baumann presents a new look after its brand relaunch. Managing Director Philippe Baumann explains the concept to us in an interview.
“Alphacoustic” displays a soft, elegant sheen and is available in 16 colours, which include four loud tones and a shade of gold. The transparent, translucent weave with a subtle rib texture in a width of 300 cm is light and fluid and generates a welcoming ambiance, irrespective of whether it is used at home or in public areas.
Thanks to superb interaction of weight, porosity and weave technique coupled with the use of a specially developed foil yarn, the transparent acoustic fabrics achieve sound absorption coefficients of αw 0,6 - 0,65 and are therefore true sound absorbers. With their light and airy guise “Alphacoustic” and “Betacoustic” enhance the acoustics of an interior, without introducing an element of textile heaviness.
