Soft Cells are acoustic panels from Kvadrat Acoustics, primarily used as building components, they are also suitable for post-fitting. Made with recycled aluminum and with a textile finish the acoustic panels are tensioned to withstand humidity and temperature conditions. They can be re-upholstered and their components reused as often as required.
Soft Cells Reflective panels incorporate a reflective plate behind the textile layer. Typically, this model offers Class-E sound absorption (high reflection), as per ISO 11654.
Applications
- Spaces where speech/sound needs projection in a specific direction, eg. close to a speaker in a conference room or in a music hall above the orchestra.
- Spaces that feature advanced acoustic design with both reflective and absorbing panels in combination with one consistent surface/appearance
- Combining reflective (hard) acoustic properties with the aesthetic soft and tactile textile surface choices of Soft Cells.
Panel components
- Aluminum frame
- Front fabric
- Reflective plate
Tensioning mechanism
Soft Cells feature a patented mechanism to keep the fabric under constant tension by suspension springs, creating a drum-skin effect. This prevents sagging.
Textiles and colors
Soft Cells are available in a comprehensive selection of textiles, which come in a wide variety of colors and styles. Soft Cells can be specified to perfectly match other textiles in an interior project, as Kvadrat offers premium quality curtains and upholstery textiles too. All fabrics have been tested for sound absorption according to EN ISO 354.
