The FilzFelt Hive acoustic wall collection is the bee’s knees. Named for its playful honeycomb patterning, Hive is comprised of a single hexagonal tile that rotates and repeats seamlessly.

Even during a global pandemic, the basic principles of good architecture and interior design hold true because they are rooted in human comfort and wellbeing. These fall releases are relevant at any time because they offer sophisticated performance and aesthetics, but they are also particularly useful when interior spaces are under more scrutiny than ever before. From easy-to-install partitions to acoustic wallcoverings, from resilient architectural details to sustainable textiles, these solutions are perfect for commercial and residential projects alike. Plus, no space can be called successful if it isn’t sustainable, so USGBC is offering accessible educational offerings at this time.

Arc-Com
High Rise infuses an architectural framework with an exciting array of shifting hues and tones. This mid-scale geometric is a wonderfully complex balance of structure and color. A linear vertical ground weave mimics the look of an épingle fabric while a 34-inch vertical repeat allows for endless color play within each individual SKU. Installation on smaller pieces will look pleasingly random, as if the pattern’s colors shift indefinitely.arc-com.com/High_Rise | @arccomfabrics | (845) 365-1100Arc-Com
