What are Uniform Connect Clouds & Combined Connect Clouds? Connect clouds—those floating ceiling treatments that define space, guide movement, and absorb sound—are no longer mere utilities. They are sculptural elements of interior architecture, capable of shaping how a room feels and functions. Two dominant design strategies have emerged: uniform connect clouds and combined connect clouds. […]

What are Connect Clouds in Modern Ceilings? Connect clouds are modular, suspended ceiling systems that add both acoustic control and design flair to large-scale interior environments. These forms—floating above without enclosing the space—help soften acoustics in high-ceiling areas while delivering visual rhythm and architectural depth. Their popularity is driven by the need for flexible, non-invasive

Celebrating a Landmark Achievement with Our Design Community We are honored to announce that Lanai, our modular felt ceiling system, has officially won the 2025 Architizer A+Product Award in the Ceiling Systems category. This milestone would not have been possible without the support and votes from our incredible design community—thank you for standing with us

Greenery Panels in Open Space Design Open spaces have evolved into multi-functional environments—serving as workstations, lobbies, learning hubs, and hospitality lounges. In these large, echo-prone areas, high-density greenery panels offer a dual-purpose solution: they bring life to sterile interiors while drastically improving acoustic comfort. These panels aren’t merely about aesthetics. They’re tools of spatial transformation,

Hospitals embracing acoustic greenery as the new design standard Healthcare design is evolving—from sterile utility toward environments that promote healing through sensory balance. Today’s hospitals are no longer places people merely pass through; they are restorative spaces meant to soothe, inspire, and rejuvenate. A critical part of this shift is biophilic acoustic design, and within

Visual Identity Meets Living Texture in Moss Walls In hospitality environments, where first impressions are everything, biophilic panels have emerged as an impactful solution that fuses natural aesthetics with acoustic performance. Moss walls—particularly those built using preserved or replica moss—provide an organic visual anchor while supporting branding and guest comfort. These vertical green systems convey

Can Acoustic Greenery Replace Traditional Wall Cladding in Retail Chains? Retail environments have long relied on traditional wall cladding—stone, wood, ceramic, or composite panels—not only for aesthetics but also for durability. These materials convey solidity, brand identity, and permanence. However, the retail landscape is shifting. Today’s design priorities emphasize flexibility, wellness, sustainability, and sensory experiences,

When a mission-driven organization like African Career Education & Resource Inc. (ACER) transforms its headquarters, the space becomes more than a workplace. It becomes a symbol of purpose. With LSE Architects Inc. and Greiner Construction leading the charge, the Brooklyn Park renovation focused on cultural relevance, inclusive design, and spatial intelligence. Enter CSI Creative, delivering

The synergy between greenery and acoustic ceiling systems The fusion of replica greenery with custom baffle grids represents a significant evolution in interior architectural systems. At its core, this integration supports the modern push toward biophilic design — a concept proven to boost wellness, productivity, and acoustic performance in shared spaces. While baffle ceilings traditionally

Biophilia Meets Acoustics: Why This Integration Matters Biophilic design has long been championed for its ability to foster emotional well-being, productivity, and a deeper connection with the environment. But today, its role extends beyond mere aesthetics. The most forward-thinking architectural practices are leveraging biophilic elements to solve one of the most pressing design challenges: acoustics.
