Enjoy The Silence

Ecoustic Veneer is a new award-winning acoustic modular system with a timber aesthetic designed to minimise noise in modern interiors, letting you indulge in a little peace, quiet, and style.

New from Instyle, the new Ecoustic Veneer range is a modular panel system that combines superior sound absorbing design, with the sophistication and class of a classic timber look. Australian-made and designed for the contemporary design-conscious space, the panels are available in 11 different FSC-certified reengineered wood veneer styles. Both perforated as well as non-perforated designs are available, suitable to different aesthetics and sound absorption needs.

Designed to work well both alone and together, the combination of both perforated and nonperforated finish types can help to balance absorption and deflection of sound, as well as allowing the acoustic design to channel sound to a particular space depending on the demands of any given interior space – from offices, to restaurants, to stores and more.

It’s the highly versatile nature of the Ecoustic Veneer system that sets it apart. The range has been designed to be easy to install in any orientation, on either walls or ceilings, in a wide range of interior spaces. While a contemporary, open place workspace is a clear stage for such a sound controlling design feature, we all know that retail spaces, public works buildings and hospitality spaces alike could certainly benefit from better acoustic design. The modularity of the panel is a reinvention of the classic shiplap timber design, yet is lightweight and easy to handle compared to its traditional wood counterpart.

Already an award winner, the Ecoustic Veneer range won the Best of Neocon 2016 Gold Award for Architectural Products and is available in Australia, and internationally, through Instyle from May.
