Six acoustic products that control noise levels in busy interiors
Dezeen Showroom: a collection of acoustic panels disguised as wall decor is among the most recent acoustic products to be featured on Dezeen Showroom.
Also included in the selection is a solo work booth by Room, a dish-shaped acoustic ceiling panel by Woven Image and a desk with a noise-dampening screen by Pedrali.
Products that help control noise levels contain or are covered in compressed fibres, for example, felt, wool or foam, which absorb sounds and create quieter and thus calmer interior spaces.
In the interest of sustainability, felt used in acoustic treatments is increasingly made from recycled PET plastic and wool continues to be a popular material due to its natural, renewable origins.
Acoustic products and furnishings are usually used in offices and mixed-use spaces that function partially as workplaces but are also specified in education, healthcare and hospitality environments.
Read on to see the most recent acoustic products listed on Dezeen Showroom from a range of internationally renowned brands, companies and manufacturers:
