World’s first super-modular stand-alone acoustic system

This standalone, elegant space divider – or partition system – for offices, hotels and other commercial needs can quickly and seamlessly be expanded to your desired scale, thanks to its modular, super flexible and easy-to-assemble design.

benjamin hubert of experience design agency layer has conceived ‘scale’ — a super flexible, modular acoustic partition system for asia pacific textile design and interior finishes company, woven image.

Composed of pressed recycled hemp acoustic tiles, which clip onto an injection moulded recyclable ABS framework mounted onto aluminium, ‘scale’ is not only produced from sustainable materials, but can adapt to the needs of a commercial interior over time. for example, it is ideal for a workplace growing and shrinking, that requires flexible work and break-out areas as teams are created and dissolved; or a hotel that has mixed-use public spaces with a variety of needs. ‘scale’ can be used in commercial spaces, convention centres and other interiors requiring high performance acoustic separation to create straight walls and gently curved corners. the system can be employed to create both solid and fenestrated divisions, and the 330mm x 330mm tiles have a large surface area for super-efficient audio absorption. the innate product adaptability therefore extends the lifespan of ‘scale’, and decreases its carbon footprint.

‘scale’ is a stand-alone design and, unlike existing acoustic partition systems, it is an intuitive out-of-the-box solution that requires no installation expertise, tools to assemble, or integration with the build architecture. the framework intuitively clips together using a polymer bolt system, and the tiles clip simply to the framework using magnetic fixings. in response to the growing trend of flexible workspaces, the structure is simple to modify and tiles are easily interchangeable, this making it simple to assemble and disassemble.

Scale characteristics sustainable supplies like recycled and pressed triangular hemp tiles. These tiles can be arranged to create a fenestrated or solid tessellated sound wall. Their surface region allows for excellent audio absorption. The tiles attach to the injection-molded ABS framework magnetically and the framework itself effortlessly comes with each other by means of a polymer bolt program.
