PRESSRELEASESOARING HIGH: CRÉATION BAUMANN FURNISHES"NEWFOUNDLAND" TOWER IN THE HEART OF
LONDONIn the heart of London, in Canary Wharf, the "Newfoundland" tower designed by architects
Horden Cherry Lee with its striking exoskeleton extends the skyline of the British capital.
Swiss textile specialist Création Baumann is furnishing the more than 600 flats with around40 kilometres of textiles. Manufactured in special colours in Switzerland, the fabrics ensure aluxurious living experience and help to save energy. The project underlines Création
Baumann's textile expertise and high product quality.
The architecture firm Horden Cherry Lee has designed the Newfoundland residential towercomplex with its diamond-shaped exoskeleton in London's Canary Wharf district. The 72,248
square metre, 58-storey building comprises a total of 636 flats, which are let by property
developer Canary Wharf Group. The building is the tallest build-to-rent project evercompleted in the UK. It is part of a strategy to increase the number of residential properties in
the predominantly commercial Canary Wharf neighbourhood.

Thanks to their favourable properties, the functional textiles from Création Baumann reduceheat radiation and improve the indoor climate. In the luxury flats in the Newfoundland Tower,
the curtains from Création Baumann achieve energy savings of up to 14%. All of the windows in
the 220 m high building were fitted with elegant curtains made of SINFONIA CS, which reflect
the light thanks to the white colour scheme and offer the residents maximum privacy andexclusivity. Using a curtain rail, the fabric could be fitted as close as possible to the glazing,
resulting in constant light reflection. As a result, the rooms heat up less and the energy
consumption of air conditioning systems is significantly reduced. In addition, a second track
system was installed so that a lined curtain behind the transparent curtain fabric provides
additional darkening.
Création Baumann regularly develops customised designs for major international interiorprojects. A special colour of the dense curtain fabric LORD, specially matched to the interior
concept, is used in the mega project in central London, creating a sophisticated yet uniformappearance with depth and character. Developed, woven and dyed in Langenthal,Switzerland, LORD exemplifies the high quality of Swiss textiles and reflects Création
Baumann's commitment to high product quality and sustainable production.
With over 130 years of experience and its own production facility in Switzerland, Création
Baumann is an expert in high-quality and technologically sophisticated textiles that offer not
only sophisticated design but also long-lasting quality and excellent functionality. The
furnishing of the Newfoundland Tower demonstrates the textile specialist's expertise at thehighest level and underlines the international reputation of the traditional Swiss company.
