Kvadrat Waves

Waves, developed by Kvadrat Acoustics in collaboration with Fosters + Partners Industrial Design, is a new acoustic curtain solution designed to create adaptable acoustic soft rooms within open-plan interiors. The system rethinks the curtain as a flexible architectural element – capable of shaping interiors, improving acoustic comfort, and responding to changing user needs.

The film by Frame is designed to highlight the highly adaptable nature of Waves as the product integrates seamlessly with existing architectural structures. It can be installed directly to ceilings, soffits, and beams and is available in both manual and motorised configurations, including app-based control. By softly defining pockets of space within larger environments, the system supports a wide range of activities – from focused work meetings to informal gatherings.

In addition, the film communicates performance as Waves offers a sound transmission loss of 12–15 dB, significantly improving acoustic comfort and speech privacy in open environments with up to 70 % noise reduction.
