SOUNDWAVE GEO acoustic panel
Offecct
Designer: Ineke Hans.
Acoustics are an aspect of interior design that often is neglected. When rooms in new buildings are made larger, and there are fewer walls in our homes, the need of acoustic elements increases. The human mind is influenced by all our senses and an annoying sound affects our health and subsequently decreases our creativity. To deal with this issue Soundwave® acoustic panels have been setting new standards on the market since 2002.
Soundwave® Geo is designed by the well-known furniture designer Ineke Hans. Ineke Hans views Soundwave® Geo as a three-dimensional wall decoration similar to the ones which people have always created around the world. The difference is that Geo has a clear function due to its sound-absorbing purpose.
“People have always wanted to decorate their walls – everywhere and in every era. But we designers have a tendency to pare away the decorative aspect. I wanted to combine Offecct’s sound panels made of felt with a geometric pattern that is decorative but can also function on the large scale with many panels in rows without looking too cluttered. Quite simply, a combination of tradition and modern design,” says Ineke Hans.
