Color of the year: EASYfelt x Cloud Dancer
The colour of the year Cloud Dancer represents calm, light, and sophistication. This soft white shade aligns well with interior designs that focus on balance and comfort. However, white is not always easy to apply. It can quickly appear cold or be prone to dirt. But how does this white shade translate to PET felt?
What does Cloud Dancer represent as a colour?
Cloud Dancer (PANTONE 11-4201) has been declared the colour of the year due to its calming and soothing character. The shade is described as a lofty white: a light, almost floating white hue that symbolizes calm, reflection, and focus. In a society where stimuli are becoming increasingly dominant, Cloud Dancer invites a slowdown. The colour supports concentration, provides mental space, and allows creativity to breathe. Not by standing out, but precisely by bringing silence and softness.
The connection between Cloud Dancer and PET felt
Visual calmness and softness
With white PET felt, the concept behind Cloud Dancer naturally comes together. The soft, matte fiber structure makes the surface appear friendly and calm. As a result, the space gains a light, enveloping appearance that suits interior designs focused on balance and refinement. This creates a calm base that does not feel cold or distant, but rather emanates comfort, precisely what Cloud Dancer stands for.
Comfort, acoustics and design freedom
Functionally, PET felt also aligns with the experience of Cloud Dancer. Thanks to its open fiber structure, sound can penetrate the material, effectively reducing echo. This contributes to a pleasant acoustics, which noticeably increases comfort in the space.
This combination of visual serenity and functional comfort makes PET felt suitable for a wide range of applications, such as offices, educational spaces, living environments, and hospitality. Additionally, the material offers great design freedom: it can be used as wall panels, ceiling panels, or in other decorative forms, where aesthetics and acoustics go hand in hand.
Is plain PET felt really practical?
White is often seen as vulnerable and this is not unfounded. In busy areas, pure white can show signs of wear more quickly. Therefore, it is important to critically consider the shade, application, and thickness.
PET felt has an advantage here: its fiber structure masks small imperfections better than smooth materials. However, it is still advisable to choose a light shade of white rather than bright white in heavily used areas. Fully white PET felt can also become dirty much more easily.
