SOUNDWAVE Collection SOUNDWAVE® combines functionality and aesthetics, specifically designed to enhance the acoustic properties of any interior used for communication and social interaction. The way we perceive sound depends on the physical nature of our surroundings and the acoustics are an aspect of interior design that often is neglected. As public spaces, open plan interiors and many contemporary environments are characterized by hard surfaces, the need of acoustic elements increases. The human mind is influenced by all our senses. Disturbing noises affect our health and decrease the...

Bella Sky´s two towers stand close to each other like a dancing couple in movement, adding an urban atmosphere to the neighbourhood. “The...

These panels help reduce disturbing reflections of environmental noise such as voices, telephones etc. “I appreciate how the forest is everywhere in Scandinavia. The forest’s presence is so significant, that when I was commissioned to design a sound absorber that would be a part of the Soundwave ® collection, I was inspired by tree branches. This is what lies behind the final form; abstract and structural movements inspired by the natural...

These panels help reduce disturbing reflections of environmental noise such as voices, telephones etc. ”People have always wanted to decorate their walls – everywhere and in every era”, says Ineke Hans. “But we designers have a tendency to pare away the decorative aspect. I wanted to combine Offecct’s Soundwave ® panels made of felt with a geomatric pattern that is decorative but can also function on the large scale with many panels in rows without looking...

SOUNDWAVE Skyline by Marre Moerel ® Skyline is a lightweight sound absorber in the upper frequency range (500 Hz and above). These panels help reduce disturbing reflections of environmental noise such as voices, telephones etc. Soundwave ® Skyline is inspired by the cityscapes, of New York in particular. But, in contrast it can also be seen as an abstraction of nature. The panels have a schematic and rectangular form. Placed horizontal the top has a straight line which then breaks into horizontal lines with a slight angle. The pattern as such reflects the grid of New York City’s streets, or...

SOUNDWAVE Stripes by Richard Hutten ® Stripes is designed to be used as a lightweight sound absorber in the upper frequence range (500 Hz and above). These panels help reduce disturbing reflections of environmental noise such as voices, telephones etc. When designing Soundwave ® Stripes, Richard Hutten aimed to add something different to the collection. “What I did is not just a pattern which repeats itself on the wall, but actually a pattern which can create various other patterns like stripes, arrows or squares. This design is a tool for architects when they have to make a new interior...

SOUNDWAVE Swell by Teppo Asikainen ® Swell is designed to be used as a lightweight sound absorber in the upper frequency range (500 Hz and above). These panels help reduce disturbing reflections of environmental noise such as voices, telephones etc. SOUNDWAVE ® Swell was one of the first panels launched by Offecct.
