Noise distraction is one of the biggest problems for workers in modern, open-plan offices. The challenge was to come up with a design for acoustic tiles that is attractive, playful and at the same time effective. Five different tile shapes allow for an infinite number of possible configurations. The tiles can be wall mounted and horizontally as well as vertically hung from the ceiling. Steelcase’s Truchet Acoustic Tiles are inspired by the work of French priest and mathematician Sebastien Truchet.

A shelving system to give extra value to Officebricks, an acoustic pods system offered in partnership with Steelcase. It allows to store books and magazines and at the same time improves acoustic performance. The single curvy sheets diffuse the sound waves while the recycled PET material absorbs them.
The single PET sheets allow for an easy and tool-free assembly while packaging size is reduced to a minimum.

The belt series was inspired by the language of traditional leather craft. In combination with wood, leather serves as a highly functional and aesthetic material.
The hanging rack only needs two screws to be installed. When not in use it can be folded up against the wall. The ladder serves as a shelf or shoe rack. The set-up consists of a typical ladder structure with additional horizontal bars that are held by leather belts.

Wool Light is a ceiling sculpture which exudes soft light from folds of pure wool, thus promoting a warm atmosphere around it. Revealing a unique structure of shadows within its fluffy tufts it is an invitation to sit back and gaze into the landscape of ever-changing patterns.
Wool Light was showcased in the Wool Modern Exhibition organised by Woolmark and The Campaign for Wool and supported by the Prince of Wales. The show has been designed to promote and highlight the advantages of wool over man-made synthetics, across a wide range of products and applications. The exhibition was shown in London, Berlin, Sydney, Shanghai and Seoul.
