FLIP is a modular acoustic wall system designed by Anna Vonhausen and Maciej Bidermann for Polish furniture brand VANK. Built around the company’s three-dimensional BRICKS panels, the system allows users to create movable partitions that can be reconfigured into different layouts as workplace needs change.
Hinged panel segments can pivot open to form access points without requiring doors, while castor-mounted bases allow entire wall configurations to be repositioned. Available in natural hemp and flax as well as recycled PET felt, the panels introduce a textured surface that serves both aesthetic and acoustic functions.
The system includes a rail-based accessory platform that supports shelves and other attachments integrated directly into the panel structure. FLIP also offers an optional curtain mounted on an overhead rail to provide additional visual and acoustic separation between zones. T

Why This Trend Is Growing
- Adaptive Acoustic Zoning
- Reconfigurable partition systems create potential for offices that shift between collaboration, focus, and privacy without fixed construction.
- Bio-based Workplace Materials
- Natural hemp, flax, and recycled PET surfaces signal a materials shift where acoustic performance, sustainability, and tactile design converge.
- Accessory-integrated Partitions
- Rail-based shelves and attachments turn walls into multifunctional platforms, blurring the boundary between furniture, storage, and spatial infrastructure.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Office Furniture
- The office furniture market is moving toward modular systems that combine space division, acoustic control, and workplace adaptability in a single product category.
- Commercial Interior Design
- Commercial interiors increasingly favor flexible layouts that reduce renovation friction while supporting evolving employee behaviors and hybrid work patterns.
- Acoustic Materials
- Acoustic material suppliers are positioned around textured, sustainable panel formats that provide both sound management and visible design value.
