Our world amongst seamless acoustic ceilings is not black and white.
Most Fellert-ceilings around the world are white. If they are not white, they are usually in a bright color. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, but the rainbow contains more colors than that. We declare that Fellert Even Better manage all RAL and NCS colors. For this reason, it is particularly amusing for us to be […]
Another example of bad acoustic solutions
When Waynes Coffee moved into the old City hall building of Borås, they wanted for obvious reasons to decorate the facilities according to their own concept. Already installed there was an acoustical tile ceiling. Wrong color, but that can easily be repainted. – too bad that it no longer absorbs any sound after the paint […]
Hospital Acoustics with Fellert Even Better
“Doubling the amount of acoustic absorption present in a room halves the total sound energy, leading to a 3 dB reduction in reverberant noise level” states a website set up by Sheffield University in cooperation with Ramboll Acoustics, called Hospital Acoustics. This is especially interesting since acoustic levels in today’s hospitals are very high. – […]
Not as hard as you might think!
We had the funniest assignment from one of the more renowned architecture offices in London last week:- To make a sample to look like a rough-cast concrete.It was in itself nothing new, as we have done it before.What was different about this was that it would be speckled, in two shades of gray and without […]

Personnel at the clinic were permitted to participate in planning the building and collaborated with the architects throughout the project. The architecture became the primary tool in safeguarding against the spread of infectious diseases with wards that can be quickly isolated and […]
Architecture in all seriousness
We’d also like to take the opportunity to pass on a tip about a good book on architecture, even though it is presently only available in Swedish. But for all those with insufficient knowledge of this Eastern Nordic, Indo-European minority language, we thought we’d give you a quick summary. In Vad är arkitektur och 100 […]
Fellert Ultra at the American Swedish institute in Minneapolis
Pretty obvious when you think about it, that a Fellert ceiling would end up in a place like the LEED Gold certified American Swedish institute in Minneapolis. You could only imagine what other Swedish design companies that would have contributed to make this institute look as nice as it does. With risk of repeating ourselves […]
Fellert in Norway: perfectly restored functionalism environment
Restaurang Ingierstrand Bad and the adjoining recreational area on the banks of the Oslo Fjord were inaugurated in 1934 and quickly became a favorite destination for the people of Oslo by offering the future – Functionalism, public bathing facilities and leisure! For many years, special ferries traveled between downtown Oslo and the facility, with up […]
Cultural observations: Iceland
Kæstur hákarl means fermented shark and is a curiously distinctive dish. The shark is first placed in a pit in the ground, covered with earth, gravel and stone, and left there for up to 12 weeks to mellow. It is then cut into strips and hung up to dry. Months later it’s carved again, this […]
