Pannello - Hard floor coverings are increasingly coming into fashion – both in offices and public buildings, and in exclusive domestic settings. This can result in acoustic problems. Ruckstuhl joined with the internationally well-known architect and designer Matteo Thun of Milan and the acoustics specialist Dr Christian Nocke, who has an acoustics office in Oldenburg, to look for a solution. This was to be based on the state of the art in both spatial acoustics and product design. This was how the highly varied collection Pannello came into being. Pannello has outstanding sound-absorption properties. It can also serve as a projection surface or pinboard, or be used as an element in interior design. Made of pure virgin wool felt in subdued colours, the surface texture creates a warm and harmonious atmosphere. The restrained and yet expressive form, together with the typological variety, makes it possible for Pannello to be used in all kinds of settings.
Silento – inspired by the design of a school satchel, and consisting of two identical elements joined by belts, resulting in rigidity and efficiency. Boundaries with purified lines and a comfortable look, these large surfaces seem to hover in the air, coping easily with spaces and sounds and filling the environment with a sense of wellbeing. The panels are obtainable in three different sizes. They can be hung horizontally in isolation, or else lined up in a horizontal or vertical series. This way you can create combinations that are suitable for all kinds of spaces and acoustic requirements. SILENTO is available in over 45 colours, with which 6 strap colours can be combined.
