Give an old textile a new room to fill.
A material associated with the mountains becomes something you might encounter in a meeting room or a hotel. Burel Factory connects textile craft with the way interiors sound.
PT PortugalIn practice. Burel Factory produces woven wool textiles and develops acoustic panels, curtains and surfaces for interior projects.
What to keep in view
Acoustic performance is product- and installation-specific. The manufacturer’s general description is not a measured result for every room or textile application.
Keep the process, extend the use
The company works with established looms and skilled manual processes, then develops textiles into forms for contemporary spaces. Colour, texture and shaping become part of an architectural surface.
This gives traditional knowledge a role beyond reproducing historic objects. The craft remains active because it can answer a present-day design problem.
Comfort is more than what you see
Hard surfaces can make a room visually clean but acoustically demanding. Textile interventions offer designers another way to work with that experience.
The important detail is specification: the result depends on the product, its construction, placement and the room around it. The most compelling part is the connection between a tactile material, human skill and an everyday quality of space.

Compose the wall and the sound together.
Two ways to make sound part of interior design: a wool surface and a modular wall combining speakers with acoustic elements.
