Solution
Soft Cells Broadline panels by Kvadrat Acoustics are used for all acoustic treatments. In the lobby, they are installed in a feature circular ceiling. Here, despite their unusual shapes, they are hinged to make devices, such as lights and speakers, easily accessible.
Elsewhere, the Soft Cells Broadline panels are employed in a large meeting room as well as phone booths. The textile Fiord is on the ceiling panels; Haze is on the wall panels.
