OFFECCT focuses on acoustic design by Karim Rashid, Teppo Asikainen & Marre Moerel

Modern architecture allows space for sound. In contemporary architecture, spaces are often created in hard materials like glass, concrete and wood, which can lead to high sound volumes and problems with acoustics.

This year OFFECCT is focusing heavily on acoustic design panels.

The panels are flexible, create artistic patterns and have some of the best noise-reducing capabilities on the market. In addition to the new design panels, Swedish company OFFECCT is also presenting several design innovations at Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2007 in Milan.
