Design Week was a true place for exchange and experimentation for us, where many research projects and actors committed to innovation met.
Our convictions have led us to question planetary boundaries and resource management. As manufacturers, and with control over our entire production chain, we have the capacity to conduct genuine industrial research on our materials and processes.
It was with this approach that we presented ourselves at Design Week 2026, with the desire to meet a wide creative audience that we wished to address: architects, designers, researchers and students.
We are convinced that together we can contribute positively to a more sustainable acoustic future.
Wool, the project's primary material, is repurposed from its conventional use to become a true architectural element. The wall and the partition panel are no longer mere physical boundaries, but devices capable of structuring the space and filtering its uses.
Derived from sheep, this wool is currently undervalued and often exported or destroyed. Through this installation, the material invites us to rethink the potential of this natural resource in the architecture and uses of tomorrow.
Conceived as an open laboratory, this space invites visitors to discover the materials, research, and experiments that give rise to the acoustic panels. It highlights a constantly evolving approach, enriched by the exchanges, questions, and feedback of visitors.
We develop a range of acoustic solutions designed to meet today's challenges while paving the way for those of tomorrow. In this space, the displayed panels become the starting point for a collective reflection on the future of acoustics, serving more sustainable, comfortable, and livable environments.
It is an enclosed space, designed like a cocoon, where the acoustics contrast radically with the hustle and bustle of Design Week, representing society in general. Here, matter fades away to give way to silence, offering the visitor a calm and introspective experience.
In both workspaces and schools, controlled acoustics promote concentration, comfort, and quality of learning. Thanks to our research on materials, it is now possible to transform noisy spaces into calmer environments that are more sustainable for both people and the planet.
The final point of the journey, this space becomes a place for exchange and dialogue. Visitors are invited to share their feelings, expectations, and questions with our team about their experience.
Our goal is not only to showcase our products, but also to understand what everyone envisions for the future of acoustic comfort. Open to criticism and feedback, we present our current vision, as well as our avenues for development towards forward-looking solutions using natural fibers.
