PRESSRELEASEROOM ZONING MADE IN SWITZERLAND:CRÉATION BAUMANN PRESENTS NEW TEXTILESOLUTIONS

For some time now, Création Baumann has been focusing on the growing trend towards
multifunctional rooms. The Swiss textile specialist is now expanding its range of acousticallyeffective textiles to include high-quality plain fabrics that allow rooms to be zoned
effortlessly and according to requirements. As a global market leader for textile acoustic
solutions, Création Baumann is committed to sustainable production in Switzerland. Thefabrics LORD and KENT are produced entirely in the company's own factory in Langenthal from design and yarn development to weaving and dyeing.
Used as flexible architectural elements, textiles characterise the visual and auditory
atmosphere of rooms. With the new textile additions, Création Baumann offers architects andinterior designers effective solutions for modern office spaces.
Textile developments and fresh colours"Above all, modern offices need to be flexible and multifunctional. Textiles as temporary room
dividers are the perfect solution for changing environments quickly and easily, both visually
and acoustically," explains Eliane Ernst, Product Manager of Création Baumann.
The classic LORD with its strong aesthetic and tactile character is manufactured entirely in
Langenthal and impresses with a sound absorption value of around 70%, making it ideal for
acoustic zoning. The dense curtain fabric gets its fine mottling and typical structure from a

combination of voluminous yarns in the warp and a textured weft yarn. Spun in light and dark
nuances, these create an expressive depth of colour after overdyeing. Available in widths of
150 cm and 300 cm and with excellent care properties and a soft drape, LORD opens up
exciting possibilities for zoning. The extensive colour palette is now being supplemented
with additional colourways, including warm grey tones and colour nuances ranging from pistachio
to cadmium yellow and marsala red.
A new addition to the portfolio is the fabric KENT, which is characterised by athree-dimensional structure with a knitted look and a special volume. Mottled weft yarn
and a special spinning process create the grainy texture of the colour-intensive overdyed
fabric. Like LORD, KENT was developed in Switzerland and is woven and dyed inLangenthal from 100% yarns spun in Europe, thus fulfilling all requirements for sustainableproduct quality and timeless design. KENT is available in a width of 300 cm. The coordinatedcolourways of KENT and LORD open up sophisticated combination possibilities.
Design expertise made in Switzerland
Manufactured entirely in Langenthal, the acoustic fabrics LORD and KENT represent thesustainable, aesthetic and technological values of the Swiss company. As a specialist in thetextile sector, Création Baumann has been integrating all stages of production here for over
130 years, from design and development to yarn development, dyeing and weaving. This
comprehensive control enables the company to guarantee the highest quality and develop

Q&A

WITH THE ACOUSTICS AND TEXTILE EXPERTELIANE ERNST,PRODUCT MANAGER OFCRÉATION BAUMANN
What demands are placed on public spaces such as offices today? How can fabrics play animportant architectural role here?
Offices today have to fulfil completely new requirements for flexible and multifunctional use.
The office of today is no longer just a place to work, but must also create additional incentives
such as identification, communication and creativity. Fabrics as flexible room dividers are theperfect solution for changing environments quickly and easily, both visually and acoustically.
They offer the possibility of using hybrid environments and adapting them to current needs.
What role does the colour of textiles play in rooms?
Textiles can be used to create a cosy and warm atmosphere. They influence our well-being.
We have developed the new colour additions specifically to provide interior designers withfurther design options. It was important for us to integrate soft and expressive nuances thatcreate highlights, but also fit discreetly into timeless interior concepts.
How does technological expertise in textile development help to fulfil the requirements ofcontemporary interior design?
Technological expertise is at the heart of the Création Baumann brand. Acoustic fabrics suchas LORD have a very high absorption value and can have a significant impact on room
acoustics. LORD absorbs 70% of sound and, in combination with our innovative Acoustic
Divider Vario, can be used to acoustically separate rooms and reduce noise.
To what extent does Création Baumann take aspects such as sustainability andenvironmental compatibility into account when developing new fabrics?
As a Swiss family business, environmental sustainability plays an important role for us. With allstages of development, from design to production, right on our doorstep at our factory inLangenthal, we can control sustainable processes and ensure Création Baumann's highquality standards. We are proud to produce textiles in Switzerland to this day.
