Vilt & materialen

i-did offers different types of felt: i-felt, you-felt, and biobased-felt.

i-felt is our collection of felt made from recycled textiles. With you-felt, we create felt from organizations' own discarded textiles. Our biobased-felt collection currently consists of jute felt from used coffee sacks and wool felt from Dutch sheep's wool.

i-felt is made from textiles that are no longer suitable for reuse. The textiles are collected and sorted in the Netherlands and subsequently processed into new felt at the i-did Factory. For this, we use, among other things, textiles from clothing donation bins and decommissioned uniforms from organizations such as KLM and the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee.

The material consists of a varying blend of textile fibers, such as cotton, polyester, wool, and nylon. i-felt consists of 94.5% recycled material.

Our i-felt and jute felt is approximately 2.5 mm thick. Our wool felt is approximately 4 mm thick. A tolerance of ±15% applies to the thickness.

The felt is available in widths of 70, 90, 110, 140 and 180 cm. A full roll is 35 meters long.

Felt can be ordered from i-did starting at 10 meters per color, in widths of 70, 90, 110, 140, or 180 cm. A full roll is 35 meters long.

Would you like to order less than 10 meters? Then you can visit Eijffinger for a selection of our felt.

Yes. i-did supplies felt directly to business customers from 10 meters per color. Are you a consumer or would you like to order less than 10 meters of felt? Then you can find a selection of our felt at Eijffinger.

i-felt is available in a permanent collection of colors with the characteristic melange effect of felt made from recycled textiles. In addition, our jute felt is available in Natural Beige and our wool felt in Natural White.

Would you like to see the colors and material in person? Then request a sample set.

Yes. You can order a complete sample set via sales@i-did.nl. This allows you to view the colors and texture of the material in person before making your choice.

A complete sample set costs €15 excluding VAT and shipping costs. For a single sample, you only pay the shipping costs.

Would you like to have felt made from your organization's discarded textiles? You can do so with you-felt. The color of the original textile largely determines the color of the new felt.

Even without your own corporate textiles, it may be possible in some cases to sort textiles by color. This is only possible for very large quantities, as the sorting process is time-consuming. Please contact us at sales@i-did.nl to discuss the possibilities.

Yes. For i-felt, a fire-retardant treatment is optional. Wool felt is naturally fire-retardant and can also be treated optionally. For jute felt, the possibilities are currently being investigated.

Do you have specific requirements for your project? Then please contact us at sales@i-did.nl to discuss the possibilities.

Our felt is suitable for various applications. i-felt can be used for purposes including wall covering, window covering, upholstery—with the exception of seating surfaces—as well as material for utility items and decoration.

In addition, our felt forms the basis for various acoustic interior products and lifestyle products from i-did.

i-felt can be cut with a sharp knife or laser and trimmed with fabric scissors. Sewing, die-cutting, and heat transfer printing are also possible.

Yes. Our felt is suitable for use as wall covering.

When gluing, we recommend using a strong adhesive and following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. Keep the weight of the felt in mind. On slanted walls, additional fastening may be required. For porous or soft surfaces, a primer may be necessary.

Yes. i-felt and jute felt contribute to good sound absorption. Wool felt has some acoustic properties of its own, approximately αw 0.2. The final acoustic performance always depends on the application.

Would you like to improve the acoustics in a room? i-did also offers complete acoustic interior products in which our felt is used.

Yes. We encourage the reuse and recycling of textiles. Felt and lifestyle products made from felt can be placed in textile collection bins. For interior products, it may be better to disassemble the product first and recycle the various components separately.

In addition, i-did is working on options to take back products and process them into new products.

Yes. The felt can be ironed. We do this ourselves regularly to make the material extra smooth.

Do you have a stain on your felt? Try removing it first with a damp cloth.

If that is not enough, it is best to hand wash the felt or felt product. If you still want to use a washing machine, choose a short, cold wash cycle without spinning. Keep in mind that regular washing can weaken the felt. Let the felt dry flat to prevent deformation.

No, it is not possible to donate individual textiles to i-did. We work with fixed textile streams.

Would you like to have your organization's discarded textiles processed into new felt? This is possible through a you-felt project. We determine in advance how much textile is needed for the desired end product.

Akoestiek & interieur

i-did creates various acoustic solutions for walls, ceilings, workstations, and rooms. The collection includes acoustic multi-panels, ceiling islands, baffles, desk dividers, room dividers, and acoustic slats.

The products are suitable for a wide range of spaces and applications, from offices and meeting rooms to schools, hospitality venues, and public buildings.

Our acoustic interior products absorb sound and reduce reverberation. This makes ambient and speech sounds less distracting and keeps conversations clearer. This contributes to a quieter and more pleasant work, learning or meeting space.

That depends on, among other things, the space, the available wall and ceiling surface area, and how the space is used.

Wall panels are suitable when there is available wall space. Ceiling islands and baffles are an interesting option when you want to utilize the ceiling. Desk dividers provide acoustic and visual shielding for workstations, and room dividers can be used to create zones within a space.

We would be happy to help you think of an appropriate combination for your space.

Our acoustic products are used in, among other places, offices, meeting rooms, schools, the hospitality industry, and public spaces.

Which solution is most suitable depends on the dimensions, layout, and use of the space.

Yes. Various acoustic products can be applied to the wall or ceiling. For example, the acoustic multipanel can be used for both wall and ceiling installations. Acoustic islands are also suitable for wall and ceiling mounting.

Other products have a specific application. Baffles and slats, for instance, are attached to the ceiling.

The mounting method varies per product. Depending on the application, we work with elements such as leveling discs, French cleats, wall brackets, adjustable steel cables, desk clamps, frames, and rail systems.

All acoustic products are supplied with clear mounting instructions. For larger projects, we are happy to assist in thinking of a suitable mounting solution.

Yes. Attachment to a suspended ceiling is possible using suspended ceiling clips. For larger projects, we are happy to coordinate which mounting method best suits the situation.

No. The installation of our interior products is not part of our services. However, we do provide clear mounting instructions and, for larger projects, we can help think along about a suitable suspension or mounting solution.

Our acoustic products consist of a combination of felt and materials that contribute to sound absorption and a strong product structure.

Depending on the product, we use, among other things, i-felt, biobased-felt or you-felt, recycled textile fibers, recycled paper fibers, and sheet material or a lightweight structural core. The exact material composition varies per product.

Our acoustic interior products can be finished with i-felt, biobased-felt or you-felt. This provides a wide choice of different colors and materials.

Available finishes vary by product. View the current collection or request a sample set to see the colors and materials in person.

The brochure specifies for the various acoustic product lines that the i-felt, biobased-felt, and you-felt colors can be applied.

Yes. With you-felt we can process discarded company clothing or other suitable textiles from your organization into new felt. That felt can then be applied in, for example, a wall panel, room divider, or ceiling island.

This way, the organization's own textiles can return to the work environment.

Yes. For various acoustic interior products, a fire-retardant treatment is possible. The options depend on the material, the product, and the project requirements.

Do you have specific fire safety requirements? Please contact us at sales@i-did.nl so we can determine which solution is appropriate.

Yes. Our acoustic products are available in various sizes, finishes, and mounting options.

For some products, custom dimensions are also possible for larger quantities. For a specific application, please contact us at sales@i-did.nl.

The number of acoustic products required depends on the space, the furnishings, the usage, and the desired acoustic improvement. Therefore, there is no standard number that applies to every space.

For a project, please contact our sales team. We are happy to help you think about which products and applications suit your space. We can also share a calculation method with you.

Eigen textiel recyclen

Yes. With you-felt , i-did processes discarded corporate clothing and other suitable residual textiles from organizations into new felt. This felt can subsequently be supplied by the roll or processed into new interior and lifestyle products.

you-felt is felt made from an organization's own discarded corporate clothing or textile waste. The original textile is shredded and then processed into new felt.

The recognizable colors and identity of the supplied textile remain visible in the new material.

Whether corporate clothing or other textile waste is suitable for processing into felt depends on the material and composition. That is why a you-felt project begins with an intake and testing phase. We then examine whether the supplied textile is suitable for fiberization and the creation of felt. From experience, we know that almost all types of textiles can be processed into felt at the i-did Factory.

Get in touch via sales@i-did.nl to discuss the possibilities for your textile stream.

A you-felt process consists of several steps. We start with an intake and test whether the textile is suitable for fiberization and felt production. After that, we determine the desired composition and application together.

If the test is positive, we coordinate the required amount of textile and start the production of the felt. Are you choosing a different end product than the new felt? Then our studio will get to work on the production of the lifestyle and/or acoustic interior products as soon as the felt is ready.

Yes. We test in advance whether the supplied textile is suitable for fiberization and processing into felt. There are costs associated with this fiber and felt test.

Please contact us at sales@i-did.nl for the current costs and options.

The required amount of textile depends on the material and what you want to have made from it. During the process, we will therefore coordinate which volumes are needed.

Please contact us at sales@i-did.nl to discuss your textile stream and desired application.

Yes. A you-felt process requires a minimum investment in the form of a product order. This order may consist of a combination of felt by the roll, acoustic interior products, and lifestyle products.

Please contact us at sales@i-did.nl for the current minimum investment.

With a you-felt process, your organization’s textiles are used as raw material for new felt. The possibilities and required volumes are coordinated in advance.

Because the composition of the final felt depends on the supplied textiles and the production process, we first investigate what is possible with your material during the test phase.

The color of the supplied textile determines the look of the new felt. The organization's recognizable colors remain visible in the end result.

During the testing phase, we will examine what is possible with your textile and what the final felt will look like.

Yes. Zippers, buttons, and other hard materials are removed mechanically. Logos and labels are fiberized along with the rest. However, the textile must be suitable for processing into felt. Which preparations are required and which components need to be removed depends on the textiles provided.

During the intake, we therefore first examine the textile stream and determine what is needed to make it suitable for processing.

Yes, different colors can be part of a you-felt process. The colors and composition of the supplied textile influence the final appearance of the felt.

During the testing phase, we examine what composition is possible and what the end result might look like.

Various products can be made from the new you-felt. You can choose felt on a roll, acoustic interior products or lifestyle products, or a combination of these.

For example, think of wall panels, room dividers, and ceiling islands for your own work environment.

Yes. A flame-retardant treatment is optional for you-felt.

Do you have specific fire safety requirements for an interior project? Please specify these in advance so that we can determine which treatment is appropriate.

Yes. A you-felt process begins with a test phase in which we examine whether the textile is suitable for fiberization and felt production. Based on that, we discuss the possibilities for the composition and the final result. There are costs associated with the fiber and felt test.

During the intake and testing phase, we first examine whether the supplied textile is suitable for fiberization and felt production. If the material proves unsuitable, the you-felt process cannot be initiated with this textile stream in the proposed manner.

The felt is produced in our own i-did Factory in The Hague. When the you-felt is subsequently processed into a final product, our studio gets to work on it. In this way, both the production of the felt and its processing into products take place under one roof.

Please contact us at sales@i-did.nl and tell us more about the textiles your organization has available and what you would like to have made with them.

Lifestyle & branding

i-did makes various practical felt products for daily use. The collection includes bags, cases, covers, organizers, baskets, and accessories for the home and workplace.

Over i-did & productie

i-did processes residual textile flows, biobased materials, and discarded corporate textiles into new felt. We supply this felt by the roll or process it into acoustic interior products and lifestyle products.

Our products are made in The Hague. Here, we have our own factory and studio, allowing us to carry out all steps, from raw material to finished product, under one roof.

Yes. Since 2022, i-did has had its own felt factory in The Hague: the i-did Factory. There, we produce high-quality felt from recycled textiles and other residual flows.

Textiles that are no longer suitable for reuse are collected and sorted. At the i-did Factory, the textiles are first processed into fibers. These fibers are then processed into new felt using needle-punching.

The exact composition depends on the material used and the chosen type of felt.

No. The color of our felt is determined by the color of the raw materials used. We call this input = output.

Most i-felt colors are made from worn and washed textiles that are sorted by color in the Netherlands. This creates the characteristic heathered effect and means that minor color variations may occur.

For i-felt, we use textiles collected and sorted in the Netherlands, including worn-out consumer textiles and discarded corporate clothing. For you-felt, we use organizations' own textile waste. In addition, we process biobased residual flows, such as used jute coffee sacks and Dutch sheep's wool.

Yes. Our factory can process not only pure material streams, but also mixed textile streams. This allows us to give a new purpose to textiles that are often more difficult to recycle.

Whether a specific textile stream is suitable depends on the material and its composition.

At i-did, we create work for people who have been out of the workforce for a long time or have never worked before. They contribute to the production of our materials and products, gaining the opportunity to develop new skills and acquire work experience.

In this way, we combine material reuse with social employment.

By reusing existing textile streams, fewer new raw materials are needed. In doing so, we save on textiles, water, and CO₂, and extend the lifespan of existing materials.

Per square meter of felt, our brochure states a saving of approximately 0.31 kg of textile, 414 liters of water, and 15.5 kg of CO₂.

Our social impact is, among other things, made transparent through the Social Handprint. For 2024, the social impact of i-did was valued at €3,002,000, or €78,000 per FTE.

i-did contributes to 9 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The focus is on:

  • SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth
  • SDG 12: Responsible consumption and production
  • SDG 17: Partnership for the goals.

i-did products combine recycled and biobased materials with social employment. This allows organizations to fulfill their goals regarding responsible material usage, social procurement, and demonstrating sustainable and social impact.

When developing our products, we focus on a long lifespan, intensive use, and the potential to reuse materials or separate them from one another later on.

For instance, hot-melt adhesive is used in several products, allowing materials to be separated again at a later stage.

No. In addition to recycled textiles, we also process bio-based residual flows and renewable raw materials. Our bio-based felt collection currently consists of jute felt from used coffee bags and wool felt from Dutch sheep's wool.

i-did has been working for brands, designers, and organizations since 2009. In 2022, that experience formed the basis for our own felt factory.

A visit to our location in The Hague is possible by arrangement. Please contact us for this via info@i-did.nl.

You can find more information about our sustainable and social impact on our website and in the brochure under Making an impact together. There, you can read more about material savings, water and CO₂ reduction, social impact, and the Sustainable Development Goals.
