For Waves, Kvadrat Acoustics worked with Foster Partners Industrial Design to rethink curtains as a flexible, easy-to-install architectural element that allows rooms to be quickly subdivided into acoustically buffered spaces.

The system is offered with either one or two sound-reducing layers sandwiched between front and back panels of Kvadrat textile to deliver up to a 70 per cent reduction in noise. A gentle ripple shape means the design looks as good as it sounds.
