The development of the Tangent Acoustic Wall Panel
At: Studio Samira Boon
The purpose of this project was to 'design a modular, high-performance acoustic wall panel that is made with Biofold, which can create unique patterns in repetition and is suitable for large indoor spaces' for Studio Samira Boon. For this purpose, acoustics, modularity, Biofold and mounting systems were researched. Additional tests were done to gain better insight in the acoustic function of Biofold.
The result of the project is the Tangent Acoustic Wall panel. It is made from a single piece of Biofold that is folded over a frame to get its final shape. Multiple panels can be combined to create regualr triangles, hexagons, or pentagons, or any number of less regular patterns. The panels should absorb at least 80% of the acoustic energy that they encounter.
