For architects and designers working in the contract sector, versatility is essential—particularly when a single material must perform across multiple surfaces without compromising function, form, or cohesion. Classic Melton by Abbotsford Textiles answers that need with clarity, offering a refined, wool solution for today’s multi-functional interior environments.
Woven from 100% wool, Classic Melton delivers not only durability and visual appeal, but also valuable acoustic performance. Its dense, felted finish gives the fabric natural sound-absorbing properties—making it a strong choice for wall panels, wrapped baffles, and desk dividers where noise control is increasingly important.
From private offices and meeting rooms to open-plan workspaces, the need for materials that support both comfort and concentration is growing. Classic Melton is regularly used in acoustic screens, pods, and upholstered panels, providing subtle sound absorption while maintaining a clean, architectural finish. Designers can create quieter, more focused environments without introducing materials that disrupt the visual language of the space.

This acoustic functionality is supported by Classic Melton’s structure. It holds form, resists pilling, and delivers a smooth, tailored surface—ideal for both horizontal and vertical applications. From seating and soft walling to ceiling drops and zoning dividers, the same fabric can flow seamlessly across surfaces, preserving both aesthetic unity and acoustic performance.
Classic Melton also stands out in its palette. With 100 colour options in stock, it offers genuine flexibility—allowing tones to shift from bold contrast to tonal layering depending on the acoustic strategy or brand identity of the space. Designers can bring warmth, clarity, or calm into a scheme while working within the practical framework of contract-grade specification.
In public-facing environments—from offices, to education and hospitality—Classic Melton bridges the gap between technical performance and sensory experience. It brings tactility, colour richness, and acoustic function to the forefront, enabling materials to do more than simply fill space—they shape it.
From seat to screen, wall to panel, Classic Melton is a fabric that adapts—delivering acoustic benefit, visual coherence, and long-term durability in one trusted solution.
