Located on the 22nd floor of a Manhattan skyscraper, the Impact Acoustic showroom presents stunning views of New York City while highlighting innovative acoustic solutions. Founded in 2019, Impact Acoustic is dedicated to eco-friendly practices, exemplified by their flagship product, ARCHISONIC® Felt.
Crafted from upcycled PET bottles, this high-performance material contains 88 recycled bottles per square meter and aligns with circular economy principles. Available in 36 vibrant colors across eight curated families, ARCHISONIC® Felt offers architects and designers endless creative possibilities while prioritizing sustainability.
Visitors to the showroom will experience firsthand how Impact Acoustic is living up to its slogan, #wemakeanimpact, by transforming single-use materials into sophisticated acoustic solutions that address today’s environmental and social challenges.
Concept Statement
The showroom will feature a striking juxtaposition of hard and soft materials to create a dynamic and acoustically balanced space.
The raw, industrial elements of exposed concrete, metal, and glass will provide a neutral backdrop that allows the vibrant ARCHISONIC® panels to take center stage.
This contrast will not only emphasize the material’s ability to absorb sound but also showcase its versatility in various design contexts.
By combining hard surfaces with soft, colorful acoustic elements, the showroom will offer a holistic experience that demonstrates the potential of ARCHISONIC® to enhance both aesthetics and functionality in any space.
