Acoustics
March/April 2026
In hospitality spaces, acoustics do more than offer critical sound absorption—they must also contribute to the design. The following offer subtle texture for an art-forward spin on sound. KP Dune | Qwel qweltiles.com Part of Qwel’s new Biophilic Collection, Dune is a threedimensional ceiling tile with contours shaped by the soft rise and fall of landscapes.
Mirage Textured Tiles | Autex Acoustics autexacoustics.com Autex carbon-neutral acoustic solutions from New Zealand are now available in North America through Momentum. This includes the Mirage Textured Tiles, a collection of textured tiles ranging from wood-like grains to cloth-like finishes and mosaic patterns.
LAYER | Sabin sabin.design LAYER is a four-part planar series of different geometric modules (which can also incorporate light). Layered together, they create three-dimensional ceiling-scapes.
Gills | Acoufelt acoufelt.com Mathematically engineered angles and folds inform this collection of ceiling frames that play with light and shadow for a mesmerizing acoustic solution.
Platter | Turf turf.design This ceiling cloud system, made from 60-percent preconsumer recycled PET, accommodates organic curves and convex edges to bring subtle depth and detail.

Ecoustic Fold Tile is a versatile direct-fix acoustic wall tile made from 60-percent recycled content that brings subtle dimension and rhythm to interior surfaces.
A graphic interpretation of rationalist and minimalist Bauhaus and Ulm design, this series—made from ocean-bound plastic— features relief patterns for sculptural effect.
In collaboration with Paper Collective, Zilenzio’s latest features wood frames and quasi–paint strokes to disguise acoustics as art.
