Maeven Art

acoustic art made of felt

One work that holds up the wall

Our name is inspired by Maeve. Soft materials, a serene design, and a piece that brings a sense of calm to your room.

Where do you hang a Acoustic wall art?

A Acoustic wall art works exactly where you were already planning to put something on the wall—and ideally where sound reflects off concrete, stucco, glass, or drywall.

Popular locations:
Living room: above the couch or next to the TV
Dining area: where conversation at the table sounds louder than necessary
Home office: behind or next to the desk, clearly audible during video calls
Bedroom: above the bed, for a softer sound
Hallway or staircase: where a hollow sound occurs

One piece creates a focal point. Two or three placed side by side transform an empty wall into a cohesive whole.

And it also dampens the sound

A painting made of 18 mm PET felt not only looks great on the wall, it also reduces reverberation . Porous felt absorbs sound where glass, concrete, and stucco reflect it. According to a study by TU Delft published in NRC, the reduction is up to 0.6 per painting.

Frequently Asked Questions

About this painting

To a Z-profile that’s already mounted on the back. You screw the counterpart onto the wall so it’s level and hang the artwork in it. That requires just one drill hole; after that, it hangs flush against the wall without any visible brackets.

The material. This work is 18 millimeters thick, consisting of two 9-millimeter layers of PET felt. A canvas stretched over a stretcher or a print on a panel reflects sound; porous felt absorbs it. The texture increases the surface area that the sound comes into contact with. The felt is made of 40–60% recycled PET.

You can hear the difference around the work area, but not throughout the entire room. The felt reduces the NRC to 0.6, as measured by TU Delft. That figure refers to mid and high frequencies: voices, television, cutlery clinking against plates. Low frequencies remain, and a painting won’t keep the neighbors away.

Any wall you can screw into: brick, concrete, drywall, or wood. Use the appropriate wall anchor for your wall. For drywall, we recommend a hollow-wall anchor.

You lift the painting out of the frame. Only the screw holes from the backing plate remain on the wall. You can always hang it in a different spot later.

Vacuum with a soft attachment, or wipe down with a wrung-out cloth. Do not use cleaning products with harsh ingredients; instead, use a mild soap solution.

Please allow 4–5 production days, plus the time required by the carrier. We create every piece in our workshop, so nothing is sitting on a shelf ready to go. You’ll be notified as soon as the piece leaves the workshop. The Z-profile will already be attached at that point.

Yes. Seven felt samples for €19.99, and we'll apply that amount to your order as soon as you place it. The samples show the color and texture of the felt, not the embossing of a specific piece; that varies by design.

Return it within 30 days. First, hang it for a few days in the spot where you want it, because evening light affects felt differently than daylight.

Yes. Outside our regular delivery areas, we ship via parcel post, air freight, or sea freight upon request, for an additional fee.
