Acoustics

In the buildings we use, whether they are for work, living, learning or healing, the shape of spaces and the nature of materials greatly affect how we perceive sound. Modern architecture is often characterised by materials such as glass, concrete and steel that can lead to uncomfortable noise.

To meet this challenge, Kvadrat Acoustics collaborate with architects and designers to create aesthetically outstanding spaces with perfect sound control, using the inherent properties of beautiful textiles - from office spaces where people feel undisturbed yet part of something grand, to auditoria that leave audiences spellbound.
