Where Science Meets Art, Felt Speaks Volumes
Florida State University’s cutting-edge Interdisciplinary Research and Commercialization Building (IRCB) is more than a research hub—it’s also home to COLLOQUY, a bold, three-part public art installation commissioned by FSU that turns lobby and stairwell architecture into a living conversation. And the material chosen to bring that dialogue to life was CSI Creative’s PoshFelt®.
Design That Performs in the Real World
COLLOQUY is more than an art piece. It’s a case study in how materials made for corporate interiors, education, and hospitality can double as creative tools for placemaking and storytelling. This series delves into the collaborative and experimental work central to Florida State University’s Interdisciplinary Research and Commercialization Building. It features three dialogues, each showcasing how iterative elements interact through action, reaction, and adjustment, mirroring the scientific process itself.
PoshFelt® bridges both worlds—design-forward and code-compliant. That’s exactly what today’s architects, designers, and end users are looking for: materials that deliver on form and function.
PoshFelt® is milled in Spain and crafted from 100% organic Merino wool. It’s soft, it’s sustainable, and it brings a tactile richness that feels elevated from the moment you touch it. PoshFelt® redefines luxury and sustainability for modern commercial design.
Yes—a felt engineered for commercial interiors, chosen for public art installations. That’s how good it looks.
The Colors That Set It Off
COLLOQUY comes to life with two standout colorways from the PoshFelt® collection:
🎨 PSH215 Raincoat – A golden yellow that commands attention without overpowering.
🎨 PSH622 Corn – A warm, sun-kissed orangish hue that adds depth and contrast.
With 175+ color options to choose from, designers weren’t just picking panels—they were painting with performance.
What Makes PoshFelt® So Special?
Let’s break it down:
🔊 Acoustics:
Crafted from dense, sound-absorbing PET, PoshFelt® panels reduce reverberation in echo-heavy spaces like stairwells, lobbies, and open collaboration zones. Unlike drywall or metal, it actually improves the user experience.
🧱 Durability:
PoshFelt® isn’t delicate. It resists crushing, fading, UV exposure, and wear—making it ideal for high-traffic commercial areas where performance is non-negotiable.
🎨 Custom Color Matching:
With a range of 175+ curated shades (and the ability to color-match custom colors), PoshFelt® is a designer’s dream. Bold primaries, rich neutrals, and everything in between—delivered pre-cut and ready to install.
This isn’t commodity felt—it’s a luxury acoustic material built for high-performance spaces. COLLOQUY is proof: when you specify PoshFelt®, you’re not just solving for acoustics—you’re elevating the entire aesthetic.
