The ultimate guide: how does an acoustic artwork improve office acoustics?
Why does an office sometimes feel restless, despite a beautiful interior?
Many offices are visually sleek, but acoustically unbalanced. Sound bounces off hard surfaces like glass, concrete, and smooth walls. The result? Reverberation, echo, and a constant background noise that imperceptibly undermines concentration. What's often missing is an acoustic solution that dampens sound without disrupting the interior, as traditional acoustic wall panels often can, but instead amplifies it. And that's precisely where the "magic" of acoustic wall art begins.
What is an acoustic artwork and why is it so effective?
An acoustic artwork is much more than just decoration. Behind the acoustic felt canvas lies a high-quality sound-absorbing panel that captures and neutralizes sound waves. Instead of sound bouncing back into the room, it's effectively absorbed. The result feels almost magical: the room sounds calmer, conversations become clearer, and the atmosphere changes instantly, without any visible technology.
How can sound-absorbing wall art really reduce reverberation?
The effectiveness of sound-dampening wall decoration is based on absorption. Sound waves disappear into the panel instead of continuing to resonate. This:
- the reverberation time decreases
- creates more peace in open work spaces
- improves speech intelligibility
- the room feels more pleasant and warmer
For many customers, this feels like an acoustic makeover of the business space, without any renovation.
Where do you place acoustic art for the best effect?
Proper placement enhances the effect of a sound-absorbing artwork. Consider:
- large, empty wall surfaces
- walls opposite workstations
- behind conference tables
- long walls in open office spaces
Our experience shows that one well-placed large acoustic art panel can sometimes do more than several separate solutions.
Can an acoustic artwork also contribute to image and branding?
Absolutely. Acoustic paintings combine technology and aesthetics. You choose the image, size, and style yourself, or have a custom design created in your own style or with branding, such as your own logo and colors. This way, sound insulation becomes not a technical necessity, but a subtle, stylish addition to your interior.
