In this Norwegian luxury villa, high quality design and comfort are the keywords when it comes to interior design. The large open space in the living room and kitchen area required effective acoustic treatment. Naturally, the choice fell on Designpanel Micro which offers unique design flexibility and excellent sound absorption. More

At Lørenskog Shopping Mall in Norway, the objective has been to have a completely monolithic ceiling surface in the entire building. Thus, in the most frequented areas of the mall, Stratopanel with its organic, random perforation design was chosen to match the busy atmosphere of the shopping streets. In the calmer parts of the building, Solopanel was used as acoustical ceiling with special customised solution for the covering of bulkheads. In order to ensure a consistent, monolithic design all the way around the bulkhead covering, the Solopanels have been customised with V-cuts. This allowed for a smooth finishing around the edges of the bulkheads with no interruption of the perforation pattern. More

The family at Hjortevej therefore chose to integrate the acoustic panel Designpanel Micro in the ceilings. Designpanel Micro has the advantage of having highly effective sound absorption as well as a discreet design that matches the interior design of the home. In addition, Designpanel is easily integrated with the rest of the drylining in the home, leaving a uniform, clean surface. More

Previously, it was the sound of airplanes that resonated in Fornebu, the former Oslo airport.

Every part of the studio is designed out of the consideration for acoustics and movement of sound waves. No angles, curves, ceiling shapes or carpets are placed at random – they all serve as conscious choice... More
