Impact Acoustics, a Swiss brand known for its performance-driven approach to acoustics for office settings, recently announced ARCHISONIC® Cotton—"the first-ever fully circular acoustic material to hit the market." The eco-conscious design solution is made from waste materials sourced in Italy. Impact Acoustics embraced cellulose from cotton linters, a by-product of the cotton industry. This main material can be reshaped and reused indefinitely without degrading the soundproofing quality.
ARCHISONIC® Cotton has proven to "absorb up to 60% of sound." For the inaugural release, Impact Acoustics offers the circular acoustic material in 24 natural colors, catering to different style preferences and allowing for the acoustic technology to be seamlessly integrated in any setting. The palette matches the brand's ARCHISONIC® Felt, creating a harmonious collection.
Impact Acoustics' ARCHISONIC® Cotton is handmade in Italy with Swiss engineering.
