Aiko Rohd - a multiplatinum record producer from Berlin, commissioned us to come up with an acoustic treatment solution for his private studio (16 sq. m). We wanted to create something that offered premium functionality while simultaneously inspiring creativity. Our simple and cozy design is both functional and aesthetic with natural materials strategically fitted throughout the room, including textile panels & wood panels cut into geometric patterns.

SPECIFICATIONS - - complex polygonal surfaces: good for acoustics, but tricky for manufacturing; just one wall needs 5 unique trapezoid absorption textile panels. - the ceiling has niches (between the beams) where we placed 6 tuned bass traps (rectangular blocks wrapped in raw linen textile). - for the rest of the walls we designed compact lightweight wooden modules, which contain our custom 3D Diffuser 50 made from plywood covered with oil and wax; for desired acoustic parameters, a small room like this needs diffusers in order to counteract it's inherent dry sound (if only absorption panel are used). - due to the mobility of the panels, we only needed 6 hours for installation on this project, allowing the very busy Aiko Rohd music studio to hardly miss a beat.
