The updated solution introduces expanded panel formats, a new patented textile attachment system and refined detailing throughout, giving architects and designers significantly more freedom to specify, install and adapt acoustic surfaces over time. The result is cleaner, more precise installations — and a solution built to last longer and be reused.
Construction & Sustainability
Soft Cells are made-to-measure acoustic panels that incorporate an acoustic core behind a textile layer. The re-engineered construction improves the structural stability of the panels and has enabled an increase in recycled aluminium content to 83%, including 8% pre-consumer and 75%* post-consumer material, while reducing the total amount of aluminium used per panel by 10%*. These improvements reflect Kvadrat's Design Principles and our ongoing commitment to longevity and reduced reliance on virgin materials.
*Based on an average panel with a broadline configuration (55 mm depth, 1.2 × 2.4 m).
Textile Attachment
A new patented textile attachment system allows textiles to be fully detachable, re-tensioned and exchanged over time. This enables panels to remain in use while textiles are cleaned, refreshed or replaced, supporting refurbishment and extended service life.
Panel Formats
Panels extend up to 1300 mm (51 in) in width and can be combined into one monolithic panel of endless length, enabling larger installations with very high dimensional precision. This is achieved through a newly developed, patented corner solution that secures the textile without adhesives, resulting in a cleaner construction and a consistently precise finish.
Installation
A newly designed family of stainless-steel installation fittings improves accessibility while sitting recessed for a cleaner visual expression. Intentionally aesthetic, the fittings support flexible installation on both walls and ceilings.
Acoustic Performance
Soft Cells delivers Class A to Class E broadband sound absorption as per ISO 11654 and EN ISO 354. Available in a range of acoustic configurations including absorptive, reflective and frequency targeted options, Soft Cells can be specified to meet any acoustic requirement in contemporary architecture.
Documentation & Certification
Comprehensive documentation is available to support specification and environmental assessment. Kvadrat Acoustics provides transparent, high-quality data to help monitor environmental impact and support informed decision making. Soft Cells contributes to major green building certification schemes, including DGNB, LEED, BREEAM and WELL, and is supported by third-party verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) as well as low emission testing.
