Friends of Wilson

A Glasgow-based studio producing design-led acoustic wall panels, hanging screens, room dividers and artwork. Our mission is to transform the world of workspace – making well-functioning, inspirational and comfortable environments where workers thrive.

Our products blend art, design and acoustic expertise. Each reduces noise, distraction and their negative effects on productivity, social behaviour, and well-being. And FoW’s artistic language creates multi-sensory environments that spark creativity, reduce stress, and raise smiles.

Flexible modularity allows the Fow collection to be configured for activity-based working. While users reap the biophilic benefits of natural materials, hues, and tactility.

Sustainability is integral to our value system at FoW. All our design thinking – from initial sketch to finished product – is based on creating minimal impact with maximum simplicity while addressing our products’ complete lifecycle with design for the circular economy. Working closely with our UK manufacturers, we minimise waste by developing further products made from cut offs and excess material from the production our range.

We believe our work is more than the business of functionality and acoustics. It’s the spirit of creativity and the art of listening. Observing workplaces around the world, and collecting input from architects, interior designers, workers, and business owners are essential to the open and collaborative spirit of our work.

Behind each of our unique products is a design story based on exploration, creativity and ideas, with a desire to create something different and belief in the power of good design to enrich, improve and meet the demands of the modern workplace.
