An expression of the full potential of Slalom’s custom-made acoustic design, this project brings together different sound-absorbing solutions from our range, tailored in form, colour and finish to the character of each space.

In the dining area, our MICRO Tunnel layers wrap the lighting fixtures in vibrant colour combinations, with the edge of each lamp featuring a different hue in dialogue with that of the cylindrical acoustic covering. The result is a playful and complementary palette, integrating acoustic performance directly into the architecture of the space.

In the areas dedicated to focused work and calls, the Wave thermoformed acoustic wall becomes a distinctive architectural element — our own take on a theatrical curtain — designed here to complement and interact with the greenery punctuating the interiors. Different shades of green then flow into vibrant blues, creating a dialogue with the shades of the booths.

Flat printed felt also appears throughout the project, here in the Polar pattern: a revisited retro-inspired graphic that brings together a fun pairing of orange and blue. Felt, one of our signature materials for its high sound-absorbing properties and versatility, takes on a more pop and playful character, framing informal meeting areas and adding a strong visual identity to the space.

The retro vibe continues with the ECORound acoustic panels, presented in a vibrant blue palette in the workspaces. Their distinctive pattern blends aesthetic appeal with acoustic performance, adding depth and rhythm to the interiors while creating a dialogue with the warm wood tones of the offices’ furniture.

Across the project, colour, pattern and acoustic performance work together to turn sound absorption into an integral part of the interior design — highlighting how custom acoustic solutions can be both highly functional and expressive.
