Crafting healthy interiors starts with sensory comfort. These 6 acoustic elements can help

BOOKMARK ARTICLE

How can our spaces help us live better? That’s a driving question for FRAME and Material Bank, an ultra-efficient sampling service with over 30,000 materials from hundreds of brands. Together, we’re curating products that help designers address this very query. Our first selection comprises acoustic panels and claddings that serve as building blocks for interiors with healthy sound environments.


ECHOPANEL® EMPIRE

Woven Image

Acoustic protection, graphic design and sustainability come together with Woven Image’s EchoPanel® Empire wall coverings. Available in a wide range of colours, the panels are crafted from 12- or 24-mm EchoPanel®, which is manufactured from recycled PET bottles.



DAYAX ECOPANEL

Aistec

The vibrant wavy patterns and textile-like finish of Dayax, decorative acoustic panels from Aistec, infuse spaces with a sense of movement and fluidity. Dayax’s Ecopanelcomposition simultaneously ensures high performance and environmental responsibility.  


DBCOMFORT SCURE

dBcover Solutions

Conceived with wellbeing in mind, dBcomfort Scure makes it seamless for a user to adapt a space’s acoustic comfort – and with a bold aesthetic. The dBcover Solutions panels’ distinctive volumes were developed based on insight from years-long research on how to maximize sound absorption.


ECHOTORRENT®

EchoJazz

Poor acoustics in extra-high rooms are no match for EchoTorrent® acoustic dividers. The playful, circular EchoJazz designs can be positioned at individual heights within spaces that have ceilings up to 4 m, thanks to tensioning elements and connecting ropes.


KYVOS

Impact Acoustic

Irregular lines graduate into complex geometric forms on Kyvos’s Impact Acoustic panelling. Carved into Archisonic – a sustainable acoustic absorption material made from upcycled plastic bottles – these patterns harmonize with nature-inspired and industrial interiors alike.


RIPPLE

Acoufelt

True to their name, Acoufelt’s Ripple baffles turn ceilings into hypnotic wave-like planes – all while promoting better sound in a space. Encouraging designers to create soundscapes in a variety of projects, Ripple arrangements can be selected to suit different colour palettes and layouts.

Every month, the FRAME team will select noteworthy products from online platform Material Bank, the most powerful way to search and sample materials. Stay tuned for next month's curation dedicated to Inhabiting the Outdoors.
