Our history

The Bordeaux company Fatexaa produced luxury textile fittings for sandals, bags and baskets.

In addition to its main business, Fatexaa combined its fabric with flexible foams to make acoustic cladding.

The business was acquired and renamed Texaa (TEXtile, Acoustics & Architecture), and focussed its activity on acoustic applications for architectural use. It introduced a range of cladding products for walls: Vibrasto.

A blind with vertical slats to control the acoustics of glazing became the first European patent requested by Texaa.

Building on the technique of correcting acoustics with isolated objects, Texaa pioneered the use of absorber panels to be positioned inside volumes: the Stereo range was born.

The premises in Bègles became too small, so Texaa moved to a workshop in Gradignan, outside Bordeaux, which was extended in stages in 1992 and 1999 by architects Luc Arsène-Henry & Alain Triaud.

Invention of floating acoustic clusters on ceilings by grouping panels together.

Launch of the Abso range of different acoustic accessories: Cones, Cubes, Cushions and Totems.

More and more ways are invented of installing single‑ and double-sided Stereo panels, which become the “Swiss army knife” of acoustic comfort.

Launch of single- and double-sided sound-absorbing curtains. 

Having developed the Grande Maille Ronde (GMR) knit, Texaa invents the Strato open mesh ceiling.

The new components that make up Vibrasto cladding and its new installation system have considerably improved the carbon footprint of Texaa’s historic product, while enhancing its acoustic qualities.

The new range of colours, put together by architect and colour specialist, Christine Bernos, is the fifth in Texaa’s history. It consists of a palette of 30 colours, some of which represent a return to heathered shades.

Invention of Kora acoustic screens. For Texaa, Kora is an innovation because they make visible use of wooden parts: feet and bases made of local pine. Also new is the invisible use of MDF cores.
