"Wool felt inherently softens environments, and with the Nest Baffle, I want to amplify that effect. They not only add warmth through material and texture but also exist to absorb sound, creating a more inviting and tranquil atmosphere. My goal is for these baffles to provide a sense of comfort and calm in any setting." -Kelly Harris Smith, designer of Nest Baffle
