Especially for private use, Aleksandra Gaca has developed a series of textile art panels with a surprising added value: soundproofing. Acoustics are often a sensitive point in a minimalist interior. Upholstery can improve acoustics, but only when used extensively. These three dimensional woven structures behave very differently. The ribbed construction absorbs sound waves, structurally reducing the sound level. Additionally, through the play of light and shadow the textures are particularly decorative. Contrasts in material – wool, lurex, metal – determine the expression: matt/gloss, hard/soft or high-tech versus natural. The first series is being launched in soft pastels: lemon-yellow/silver-grey, soft green/grey and beige/wood-hues. This will be followed by a series of subdued natural colours in a range of subtle blues and greys. See more: collection: architextile.

The exclusive art panels are issued in limited editions and to buy by:Edha Interieur, Amsterdam; Haasnoot Interieurs, Wassenaar; Jan de Jong Interieur, Leeuwarden; Van Waay en Soetekouw and Inteireur Decor in Delft.
