Impact Acoustic's headquarters is dedicated to its in-house Cradle-to-Cradle certified acoustic material, ARCHISONIC. Around 20 workstations with colourful highlights have been created on 300 square meters. 

From the sustainable phone booths, and Chatpods, to flexible workstations with the new Vitra Comma system with integrated acoustic screens made of recycled PET bottles, all product categories are represented. Impact Acoustic manufacturers at the same location in the heart of Switzerland. 

The interior design was personally created and put together by Jeffrey Ibanez, Impact Acoustic's chief designer. The combinations of colours and shapes give the space a biophilic yet cheerful appearance. The spaces showcase the strengths of the Archisonic collection. The colour palette was developed in collaboration with Colour Hive and ensures that within the palette, the colour combinations work brilliantly together. Here, the colours have been challenged to the extreme and mixed together in various combinations. 

Possibly the star of the project is the dark blue acoustic baffle ceiling. The ceiling was perfectly matched to the space with the help of computer-aided design and gives the room a character all of its own. The playful waveforms give the room a grace that cannot be matched. Despite the dark colour choice, one does not feel oppressed in the space, on the contrary, it feels like being under a clear night sky at dusk. 

The collaborators from Impact Acoustic, Visplay and Vitra also find a prominent place in the space. The Vitra Comma System was equipped with pink acoustic screens, and even the coat hangers on the shelves are made of ARCHISONIC material. The luminaires with integrated acoustic sails create the basic prerequisite for concentrated work. The luminaire insert is positioned in such a way that the luminaire does not dazzle you but excellently illuminates every workstation. To create additional privacy, acoustic room dividers hang next to each workstation combination. All the acoustic elements were also designed with great attention to detail. Have you already discovered the patterns in the spearmint-coloured wall?
