2. Designer: Architecture Research Office for FilzFelt.
Product: ARO Block 4.
Standout: The modular tiles of 100 percent biodegradable wool felt, inspired by shingles and cladding, are one of four shapes offered in 63 colors. A 100 percent recyclable acoustic substrate provides sound absorption while heavy-duty construction adhesive makes for hassle-free installation.
3. Designer: Henri Jacobs for Maharam.
Product: Nuage.
Standout: The artist’s abstraction of a cloudy sky, created with watercolors and metallic paint and pencil, becomes a wall covering in cellulose, latex, and nylon, available in a museum-quality size of 10 feet high and almost 13-1/2 wide–or a custom size.
4. Designer: Karim Rashid for Mosaico Digitale.
Product: Karim Rashid Collection.

5. Designer: Kate Miller of Elworthy Studio.
Product: Aurora.
Standout: The San Francisco-based designer arranged diamonds on a lacy ground for this pattern. Part of her Clair Obscur collection, the designer sought to utilize inventive techniques. For example, placing objects on photo paper and spraying them with low-toxicity photo chemicals to create ghostly, glowing fabric and wallpaper.
6. Designer: Lily Latifi of Lily Latifi.
Product: City Lights.
Standout: A sliding panel lets the light in through a skyline of square perforations while keeping out sound, heat, water, and fire; its 100 perecnt wool felt is 3mm thick and available in over 40 urbane colorways, in custom sizes.
7. Designer: Kathryn Maresca of Maresca Textiles.
Product: Madras Floral and Madras Geo.
Standout: Inspired by antique chintz motifs, these upholstery-weight linen-cottons are perfect for pillows and heavy drapery, in custom hues or colorways like charcoal, willow, and indigo.
