Weaving the future

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.
Open plan offices and libraries, theatre auditoriums and concert halls: high sound levels or noise from outside interfere in many public interiors. In our increasingly hectic times there is an increasing demand for peace and calm. For instance the classification “Quiet Room” marks out especially quiet hotels. The acoustic atmosphere of interiors is becoming ever more important. Création Baumann has been devoted to optimising interior acoustics, for years. The textile specialist from Langenthal in Switzerland incorporates in its range an innovative and comprehensive acoustic collection, which consists of 90 opaque and transparent fabrics and offer a high degree of acoustic effectiveness.
Intensive research allows the company to expand its range of highly functional textiles still further. “Primacoustic” and “Terzacoustic” the two new products, supplement five existing transparent acoustic fabrics in flame-retardant Trevira CS. The second generation of transparent sound absorbing fabrics feature a matt look. To attain it, the textile experts had to develop a special transparent foil yarn, as prior to that options without shine could not be attained for technical reasons. Sound absorption values of this highly technical weave could be kept high. The matt finish opens up new options for architects and proprietors as do the new colours. The colour palette of “Primacoustic” and “Terzacoustic” encompasses neutral colours – from white and light greys to anthracite.
Creating calm: Création Baumann provides innovative products for optimised interior acoustics strengthening its competence in the field of acoustic fabrics still further.
