Green wall panels and cloth wall coverings are two different yet equally powerful approaches in modern design. Cloth brings softness and flexibility through fabric textures, while green walls infuse natural or biophilic elements into the built environment.   Green Cloth Wall Coverings Cloth wall coverings excel in spaces where warmth, softness, and detail are the […]

What is biomorphic design? Biomorphic design takes its cues directly from nature, drawing inspiration from organic forms such as leaves, waves, branches, or cellular structures. In ceiling applications, biomorphic patterns break away from rigid grids, introducing fluid, natural shapes that evoke harmony and motion. Unlike traditional ceiling systems, these designs soften the built environment, creating

Fabricated ceiling clouds Fabricated ceiling clouds use metal carriers to support foliage, felt, or both—uniting natural textures and acoustic design in expressive ceiling elements. They’re typically made from materials such as acoustic PET felt, wool felt, wood veneer, or composite cores, depending on the performance and aesthetic requirements. The key advantage lies in their precision

Chattanooga Airport’s terminal expansion just landed the 2025 Commercial Service Airport Architectural Project of the Year—and while the jet bridges and sleek finishes turned heads, it’s what you don’t hear that sealed the win. Led by Derthick Henley & Wilkerson Architects, the 26,000 sf expansion and 36,000 sf renovation delivered more than new gates and

What is Biomorphic Ceiling Design? Biomorphic ceiling design represents a fascinating intersection of organic inspiration and built form. Rather than relying on orthogonal lines or repetitive geometries, biomorphic ceilings mimic the curves, rhythms, and asymmetry found in nature — like the structure of leaves, coral reefs, and flowing water. These elements work not only as

What Are Profile and Profile Framed Ceiling Clouds? Profile and profile framed ceiling clouds are suspended acoustic ceiling systems designed to enhance both the auditory and aesthetic performance of interior spaces. These clouds are engineered to absorb sound waves that would otherwise bounce off hard surfaces, leading to echoes, distortion, or a lack of clarity

Where Science Meets Art, Felt Speaks Volumes Florida State University’s cutting-edge Interdisciplinary Research and Commercialization Building (IRCB) is more than a research hub—it’s also home to COLLOQUY, a bold, three-part public art installation commissioned by FSU that turns lobby and stairwell architecture into a living conversation. And the material chosen to bring that dialogue to

What is the functional design philosophy behind these two divider types? Room dividers have evolved from basic visual partitions into sophisticated architectural elements that define space, control sound, and express brand personality. In the design world today, perforated and draped room dividers are often chosen for their acoustic control, visual permeability, and spatial modulation. But

Introduction: Why is commercial soundproofing a growing priority? In modern commercial spaces—especially open-plan offices, educational campuses, hospitality venues, and healthcare environments—soundproofing is critical to ensure comfort, privacy, and focus. But not all materials provide the same level of performance. Below, we rank the five most effective materials for commercial soundproofing, from decent performers to industry

What are Ceiling Clouds? Ceiling clouds—suspended horizontal acoustic panels—are increasingly favored by architects not just for their sound-absorbing function, but also for their ability to shape the spatial and visual dynamics of a room. These floating elements are pivotal in controlling reverberation in large, open-ceiling environments while introducing rhythm, softness, or architectural drama overhead. Whether
