Sinuously Patterned Acoustic Panels

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Jeffrey Ibanez Emphasizes Minimalism for Impact Acoustic

— July 12, 2021 — Art & Design
Swiss brand Impact Acoustic boasts a new panel design, developed by Filipino designer Jeffrey Ibanez. According to the company’s website, the ‘Contour Panel’ is “the parametric design that transcends boundaries. The soft organic lines that create a natural visual movement are created through an algorithm equation.” Because the pattern itself is designed through the use of an algorithm, Impact Acoustic signals that it can be visually optimized to fit walls of any shape or size. The panel can serve for visual emphasis, to insulate sound, as well as as a pinboard with fine pins.

The ‘Contour Panel’ is suitable for corporate, hospitality, and institutional projects. The design is offered in a range of 28 colors, increasing the likelihood that the aesthetic of the product will fit the interior design needs of any setting.
