Dezeen Showroom: Portuguese brand Burel Factory has harnessed the natural characteristics of wool to create a fabric that reinterprets traditional craft for modern commercial spaces.
Burel Factory makes a special wool fabric known as burel fabric, which is a heritage product of Portugal’s Serra da Estrela mountains, where the company still operates using ancestral machinery.
The fabric is handmade from 100 per cent wool that is trodden, thumped and boiled to improve its density and create a product with even more versatility and resistance to wear and tear than other wool fabrics, with Burel Factory claiming that it keeps its colour and shape even in high-use environments.
The fabric can be used for applications ranging from wall coverings to panels, dividers and partitions, and brings a tactile look to interiors alongside acoustic and thermal insulation.
Wool reduces sound reverberation, creating a more pleasant acoustic environment in spaces such as offices and hotels, while also insulating from both heat and cold and helping to maintain an optimal indoor temperature.
Burel Factory’s wool fabric is available in more than 80 colours and 20 different 3D designs, which the company refers to as its Burel Stitches collection and which range from geometric compositions to dynamic bunched creations.
