Studies show that acoustics, or the sound transmission quality, of a room or building can affect the mood of the occupants or residents. Pleasant sounds encourage a positive and productive mindset, but unfamiliar sounds can have a negative impact on a person’s temperament and well-being.
This means innovative designs that provide a positive acoustic environment and enable good sound regulation inside a space are crucial considerations for architects.
The Danish company Kvadrat Soft Cells – owned by Kvadrat, a contemporary textiles company at the forefront of design innovation – provides the perfect solution.
Its fully customisable, high-performance acoustic panels, or “Soft Cells”, enable a specialised level of acoustics control inside buildings.
The original Soft Cells concept was to develop an innovative, flexible sound-absorbing product offering aesthetic excellence and outstanding versatility, which showed the architectural design possibilities of textiles.
