Crafting sound with Laine

Laine has launched six new additions to the innovative Snowsound acoustic solutions product range, offering more ways than ever to create and control the ideal soundscape.

Crafting sound with Laine


BY

February 1st, 2016


The new range of Laine acoustic solutions includes ceiling tiles, cable suspension, sliding rails, self-supporting space partitions and phone booths. Sound is formed by waves that bounce off any solid surface, so rooms that include any timber, concrete, glass or other hard surfaces make for a veritable playroom for ambient sound, which means a less peaceful work space for all involved. Laine’s range of Snowsound has been designed to combat this problem.

The range has been developed with Italian designers Caimi, and serves primarily as a series of reversible acoustic panel made from one single polyester material. With strong sound absorption qualities, the panels can help dampen ambient office or work space noise, and also function as an eye catching addition to the space.

Snowsound is light and colourful, and can be used to personalise any interior space.
