Fraster’s feeling for felt Fraster is a small company which is driven by great passion. We are driven by a daily enthusiasm for the fact that wool felt continues to open up new opportunities. New worlds. New eyes. Our tailor’s shop is located in Silkeborg. Right in the middle of one of Denmark’s most beautiful natural landscapes. From here, we deliver perfect craftmanship and small design miracles created by architects with a nose for the present and the natural. With an eye for detail. And with a fine feeling for felt. Trine Neve & Peter Kruse Proprietors
Tactile sensuousness adds depth to the interior design. And soul Wool felt has many unique qualities. However, the most important is probably that felt adds that very specific feeling of authenticity to a room. Something comforting. At the same time, the natural simplicity of felt goes well hand in hand with Danish design – and with the entire Scandinavian design tradition with its clean lines and clear expression. With edge and character. At Fraster, we let the possibilities express themselves and help interior decorators, designers, entrepreneurs and others to think sensuously. Naturally. Sustainably. We do this with our inspiring range of noise reducing finished products and designs for floors, seating areas, screening, and also by providing the freedom of tailormade, individual solutions and one-of-a-kind objects. Standard or tailormade; a Fraster product is always manufactured from the finest and softest merino wool. And using those simple methods which have been employed for more than two thousand years: Shear. Card. Dampen. Full. Dye. Cut. Felt. Simple. Natural. Comfortable.
Danish Design at floor level Identifying the possibilities of working with Fraster at floor level is easy. You are unlikely to find any other material which will provide the same creative freedom as wool felt, in terms of dimensions, styling, color and design. The basic Fraster range provides an all-round fit. And a long one. And a round one. And so on. This means you can choose between a vast number of styles, colors and patterns for e.g. marking off specific areas, emphasising a visual identity or creating natural coherence. From the bottom up The quality felt from which we manufacture all our rugs is both dimensionally stable and cohesive.
This means that you do not have to worry about ”lumpy” rugs or edges which gradually lose their hold on the floor. Rather, a Fraster felt rug will retain its shape, its color and its edge. For years to come. On the positive side, it is also worth mentioning the felt rug’s incredible ability to soften the sound of steps, just like felt has a positive effect on the general acoustics of a room. Add to this the biological characteristics of merino wool which makes felt rugs a very good choice for the indoor environment – and for users with allergies. You find the entire range of felt rugs at unikavaev.com. Here, you may also use our digital paint book to play with the vast color palette.
Wool felt rugs are all about authenticity. About rustic expressions. And about tying the interior design together.
Felt by the yard The clean edges created by the significant cohesion of wool felt make working creatively with runners easy. And, notably, in almost endless lengths.
Naturally, you can also have runners tailormade in exactly your choice of dimensions, patterns, colors and stitching. Just like you may have specific designs, logos or even text cut in the felt – and, if you so desire, have the cut-outs filled with contrast color wool felt from our entire palette.
Felt underfoot Felt makes the perfect chair underlay – for several reasons. Primarily, the natural wool felt will graciously contribute to job satisfaction, i.a. by improving the acoustics of the room and absorbing vibrations from the wheels of the office chair (without constraining the free movement of the wheels).
The Fraster standard range of chair underlays comprise the models ”Pebble” and ”Tiles”. The former is popular because of its organic, soft shape (right-hand photo) and is available in two different sizes and all 35 colors of the Fraster palette. This is also true of the rectangular ”Tiles”. If required, we also tailor chair underlays to exactly the size, shape and color matching your specific interior design project.
Felt on seats creates a new spatiality, unfolding shape and color in numerous dimensions. Felt further offers surprisingly good seating comfort.
Soft seating. To stay or to go Large as well as small areas of seating invite the application of a soft and comfortable wool felt cover. And in this respect, there are no limits to creativity either. Neither where the style, the color nor the functionality are concerned.
You may have seating areas tailormade in felt for mounting on custom designed furniture (see, for example, the case on the Oslo Opera House at the back of this booklet). Or we can manufacture loose felt pads; again, in any style or color desired.
Movable peace For rooms where there is a need for establishing flexible work oasis, meeting booths or other types of visual and acoustic screening, the Fraster range of movable felt table and floor screens will often provide a creative option.
In addition to providing a solution to the functional challenge of providing partitioning, the screens add to the general expression and experience of the room. To the sensuous feeling of the natural. The genuine article.
The ”ZigZag” table screen and the ”MixMax” floor screen are both made up by modules, which makes them easy to fold and move around. At the same time, the modules are available in 35 different colors of felt which may be combined as you wish – including with different colors on either side of a module.
Felt for absorption In many office environments, having peace to work is a rare luxury. However, sometimes, we all need to let ourselves become absorbed. Disappear into an assignment without disruption.
The Fraster table screen ”Spazer” provides a solution to the need for peace – for both the ears and the eyes. The 50-cm-tall felt-covered screen is available in modules that are up to 210 cm wide. With ”Spazer Solo”, you may also choose different colors for the two sides of the table screen.
”Spazer” is installed in an elegant aluminium runner which is either fixed with screws underneath the table top or using the special Fraster clamping brackets.
Let calm descend. From the ceiling Large glass panels and open-plan offices occasionally prove a challenge to interior designers. Both in terms of aesthetic dimensions and the desire to create the peace needed by the users of the room.
With the suspended “Screen Trak® Soprano”, you are able to combine design, functionality and sense. And you are free to decide on whether to suspend the rustic felt panels from the ceiling or whether to mount them on a glass panel using the special Fraster magnet suspension system. Our standard range of “Screen Trak® Soprano Single” in 5 mm wool felt comprises 24 different designs (cutouts) which are all available in your favorit colors. And to exactly the measurements you want.
Wool felt is very cohesive. For this reason, our to-the-millimetre precision cutter makes it possible to have the “Screen Trak® Soprano” tailormade with your unique design. Graphics. Logo. Text. Or something entirely different.
Add an extra dimension to peace Just like “Screen Trak® Soprano Single”, “Screen Trak® Soprano Double” was created to add screening and calm to a room. The difference between the two products is that “Screen Trak® Soprano Double” consists of two layers of wool felt in which colors and cut-outs combine to add a 3D-effect to the design of the felt surface. The standard range comprises 24 different patterns. With complete freedom to combine all felt colors of the palette and to specify the desired size, you are able to achieve a multitude of different expressions.
Large felt areas invite to creative expressions. New impressions. And enable a spot-on signature on your interior design.
Creative freedom. Layer on layer Fraster is a felt tailor’s shop. This means that you are entirely free to design the pattern of the “Screen Trak® Soprano Double”. Naturally, this creative freedom applies to both the cut-outs in the two felt panels, the choice of color for the felt panels and the dimensions of the entire cover.
Calm Couture Who says you cannot both soften noises and decorate a room? With the unique TwisterPLUS acoustic modules, a whole new universe opens up of colors and patterns in 5 mm wool felt mounted on acoustic panels. The effect is noticeable. Felt and backing panels efficiently filtrate the worst of the noise in the room and adds a softer and more comfortable acoustic environment. TwisterPLUS is available in 25 designs. As the modules may be combined into larger panels and as you are free to choose from our entire palette of 35 beautiful colors, the artistic freedom is virtually unlimited.
The elegant Fraster PinDot bulletin board is available in solid colors or with a design and may be individually mounted, or in combination. The modules measure 65 x 88 cm.
BRIX BRIX creates room. Caresses both eyes and ears with creative designs in real natural felt. Creates sensuous beauty. Creates peace. Peace by piece.
A number of designs in geometric shapes and the Brix paintbook on uk.fraster.dk make it easy to play with colors and shapes. The Brix elements consist of 5 mm wool felt with a recycled PET felt backing and with double-sided adhesive tape for easy installation.
Free felt A wall. A detail. A work of art. A graphic. A sentence. Or the whole world cut out in felt and mounted as an inviting decoration. Wool felt is incredibly suited for adding one’s signature to an interior design.
And with the significant cohesion of felt, the ultra-precise Fraster cutters and our many years’ experience, you will only rarely hear us say that something cannot be done. So just let the felt run free.
Colorful decoration The Fraster color palette comprises 35 beautiful colors; most are gently dyed during the felt manufacturing process, while some feature the natural shades of wool. At unikavaev.com you can see the colors available in the individual felt qualities, products and design.
