Sound Of Silence a sound absorbing wall panel by Ingegerd Råman - Okko Design

During Stockholm Design week in February, Okko Design will showcase their latest acoustic solutions from sustainable natural materials. There will also be the premiere for Sound Of Silence, a sound absorbing wall panel designed by Ingegerd Råman.

“Sound Of Silence” is an acoustic panel with its own artistic expression. The material is peat obtained and harvested directly from nature with extremely good sound absorbing properties.

Ingegerd Råman has always been interested in the acoustics of public spaces, where she believes the sound environment is often overlooked. “Silence must be protected”.

The name Sound Of Silence comes from the knowledge that cavities swallow sound. Peat has a strong expression in itself, which inspired Ingegerd’s curiosity and interest. The encounter with the material and its properties has been expressed in a personal way in Ingegerd’s design.

Three sound absorbing panels of peat have been joined together where Ingegerd has created cavities in two layers. The repetitive pattern is varied through two different sizes of holes, the smaller hole is repeated strictly schematically and the larger ones are drawn entirely by hand, giving Sound Of Silence the best possible sound absorbing effect and a soft and lively surface.

WELCOME!

Ingegerd Råman
is one of Sweden’s most prominent designers, primarily known and highly appreciated for her timeless and beautiful objects in ceramics and glass that she has created since the late 60s. Simplicity, function and beauty characterize Ingegerd’s design. Her curiosity about new materials and challenges has also created many exciting collaborations and several different types of designed objects. Ingegerd’s first design for Okko Design is called Sound Of Silence, a sound absorbing wall panel made of peat fiber.

”The acoustics of our public spaces interest me and our need for silence often gets too little attention. Working with peat fiber, which is a beautiful natural material with the best sound-absorbing effect, is therefore very exciting and inspiring to me.”
