Designed for those who go against the grain
Our new collection of Wood Textures invites architects and designers to introduce natural-feeling surfaces into their spaces, alongside the advanced acoustic performance of our felt. Following the release of our popular Stone Textures, this new collection continues Turf’s pursuit of nature-inspired, tech-enabled material innovation. This time, our muse is wood, as we celebrate this elemental material’s elegance and versatility, while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the natural world. By pairing the aesthetics of timber with acoustic utility, Turf helps designers to work with nature and sound in service of welcoming spaces for everyone.
Looks like wood, sounds like nothing
The Wood Textures collection is offered in a curated palette of 32 hues and three veneer-inspired patterns, each an homage to classic milling techniques. Rift offers clean, linear precision; Rotary brings expressive swirls and burls; and Flat balances understated movement and depth. To achieve these detailed patterns, we utilize UV-cured, water-based ink that’s digitally printed onto our 9mm PET felt. From these considered options, creative opportunities abound. When paired with our Black felt, for example, the use of white ink evokes the traditional Japanese wood-burning technique of shou sugi ban.
Invite nature indoors, with all of the beauty, and none of the noise
Developed through rigorous research analysis and close collaboration with longtime Turf collaborator Carolyn Ames Noble, the Wood Textures line epitomizes the same ethos that shaped our Stone Textures. These patterns aren’t intended to mimic nature with photorealism, but to push its boundaries, offering expressive, sometimes surreal interpretations that merge biophilia and digital artistry. The environment is a never-ending source of inspiration for our team of designers and researchers, and with this collection, we translate its genius into practical acoustic solutions that are both visually striking and easy to specify.
Hear the forest for the trees
Designers can apply Wood Textures to most of Turf’s 9mm acoustic solutions across various layouts and configurations. For enhanced visual impact, book-matching is exclusively available on the Barcelona and Monolith panels, beloved for their architectural presence. Whether the goal is to blend in or make a statement, bring serenity or stimulation, this collection offers the power of choice, bringing the designer’s vision to life and turning inspiration into reality.
Making peace between people and place
Interiors enriched with biophilic elements like Wood Textures do more than look beautiful — they support the wellbeing of the people who inhabit them. By connecting people to nature, Turf’s acoustic panels help to reduce stress and support productivity. Designers can tune their environments to purpose and mood: darker tones for calm and rest, pale hues for focus, vibrant colors for energy. In a world where people demand more from the spaces they occupy, Turf’s Wood Textures unite sensory delight, acoustic performance, and sustainable design in one solution.
