Création Baumann

Challenges in architecture and interior design, a deep passion for interior design as well as high technological competence are central to our development of innovative textile solutions.

Création

At the Création, our design studio, product management, design and product development work hand in hand. Trends and current topics are included in the development of new products, always with a focus on durability and timelessness.

Idea & Concept
The sources from which the best ideas flow are inexhaustible. To ensure that they also lead to a product and thus to success, we bundle them into a viable concept for a development and produce initial quality samples for new fabrics.

Colours & Production
The limitless world of colour is one of the core characteristics of our fabrics. Fresh shades and numerous subtle nuances are matched to the respective applications, which are reflected in a range of colourits for the new products.

Production

From the processing of the yarn to the finished fabric, every step of production takes place in Langenthal. We have a broad repertoire for the production and finishing of textiles. We operate a winding mill, twisting mill, dyeing mill, weaving mill and print press.
