Sustainable Acoustic Ceiling Plateau

Plateau complements the company‘s wide range of custom ceiling solutions and, like ceiling baffles, is based on the principles of computational design.

The design was not only based on visual and acoustic aspects, but also on sustainability. Exactly 88 PET bottles are recycled for every square metre of finished product. The special design approach also considers production with as little waste as possible. The installation process has also been simplified to the extent that a fully customised suspension and mounting template allows all panels to be easily allocated and installed on site.

Dino Rossi, Head of Computational Design at Impact Acoustic, describes the design vision of this unique product: „Inspired by self-organising natural systems, we have developed an in-house design tool that integrates a physics engine and an evolutionary solver to generate designs. Each result is a unique, optimised solution adapted to a specific space“.

Plateau is manufactured in Switzerland entirely from our own high performance ARCHISONIC® acoustic absorber and is available in a range of 32 curated colours. It is also possible to combine individual panels of different colours to add an extra layer of design. For use in professional environments, the product can also be extended with 30mm light lenses, produced in collaboration with Austrian company PROLICHT.
