A: It’s all about proximity. By placing a large, absorptive PetFelt shade directly above the noise source (such as people talking at a meeting table or restaurant booth), the pendant captures sound waves instantly before they have a chance to travel across the room and create echo. It creates a localized "cone of silence" while providing functional illumination.

A: Our pendants are fitted with a standard E27 (Edison Screw) lamp holder. We recommend using LED bulbs because they run cool and are energy efficient. While the bulb is not included, this gives you the freedom to choose your preferred color temperature (Warm White or Cool White) or "Smart" bulbs to suit your interior mood.

A: Yes. We currently offer three sculptural designs: Pleat (700mm wide, geometric folds), Bloom A (taller, bell-shaped), and Bloom B (wider, flatter profile). Each shape is formed from rigid 9mm PetFelt, allowing them to hold their complex forms without internal wire frames.

A: Yes. PetFelt is heat-stable and fire-rated to EN13501-1 Class B-s2,d0. Because the shade is designed to be open and breathable, heat dissipates naturally. However, we strictly recommend using LED bulbs only, as traditional incandescent bulbs generate excessive heat that is unnecessary in modern sustainable design.

A: Absolutely. We offer 60 different colours, ranging from vibrant primaries to subtle architectural greys and earth tones. Because the color is consistent throughout the thickness of the felt, the shade looks rich and textured from every angle, making it easy to coordinate with furniture fabrics or brand palettes.

A: Unlike fabric lampshades that stain easily, PetFelt is durable and low maintenance. It can be dusted regularly using a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment. If needed, the material is moisture-resistant enough to be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild detergent, making it practical for hospitality environments.
