Mensa Oase Adlershof in Berlin features room dividers covered with woven strips of felt in various colours,
creating an artistic wall mural out of acoustic materials. A range of light levels interact with the undulating
‘ribbons’ to create depth and shadows. Having room dividers with superior sound absorption allows the café to
host simultaneous events without one disturbing the other, while adjustable lighting offers a range of moods
from morning to night.


At the Moxy Frankfurt City Center, decorative textiles are hung from the high, open ceiling,
along with assorted fabrics, carpets and cushions to absorb the noise from the energetic
crowds in this lifestyle hotel’s lobby. An eclectic mix of decorative and functional lights
brightens and warms the concrete walls.
