Carnegie — a leader in sustainable textiles and acoustical management solutions, and Skyfold — a pioneer in premium operable walls, today announced a first-in-class partnership to provide an unparalleled sustainable, high-performance acoustical solution for modern spaces. This partnership combines the strength of Carnegie’s Xorel wall coverings with Skyfold’s state-of-the-art movable walls, offering a perfect blend of functionality, aesthetics, and environmental responsibility.
The integration of Xorel, renowned for its durability and acoustic transparency, with Skyfold’s advanced movable walls, creates spaces that are not only beautifully designed but also acoustically optimized. This unique combination addresses the growing demand for adaptable spaces that maintain sound integrity, making it ideal for corporate offices, educational institutions, and public venues.
Both Carnegie and Skyfold are dedicated to sustainable practices. Carnegie’s Xorel textile drastically reduces environmental impact without compromising on performance. Skyfold’s walls, designed for minimal energy consumption and maximum efficiency, complement Xorel’s sustainability credentials, offering a comprehensively sustainable, high-performance solution for specifiers. Skyfold is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council® (USGBC), a national nonprofit organization that promotes responsible design and construction, and an enthusiastic advocate of LEED. Carnegie has been a certified B Corp since 2014 and is a forever PVC-free company. Products offered through this partnership help contribute to meeting new LEED V5 criteria and reduce embodied carbon. Additionally, both companies are industry leaders in providing full Health-Product Related Declaration (HPD) reports and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).
“Keeping true to our values, we look for partners with a strong, authentic commitment to the environment and responsible governance,” said Carnegie CEO Gordon Boggis. “We have true alignment with Skyfold on prioritizing sustainability and providing quick, easy, and competitively priced specifications for projects of all sizes and needs. I look forward to bringing our Xorel product to even more clients.”
“We are dedicated to building a more sustainable industry and future. Sustainability is central to our strategy and vision, influencing all our actions,” said Francois Hervieux, Skyfold VP of Sales and Marketing. “We are actively working towards a low-carbon and circular economy. By partnering with Carnegie and offering Xorel products, we provide innovative and resource-efficient solutions that contribute to this economy and help ensure a climate-resilient future.”
The collaboration allows for endless design possibilities. Xorel’s vast array of colors and patterns enables designers to create customized, visually stunning environments that meet specific aesthetic and functional requirements. Skyfold’s seamless integration capabilities ensure that these designs can be implemented effortlessly, creating flexible spaces that adapt to changing needs.
