Acoustic art, which combines aesthetic appeal with sound-absorbing materials, has gained popularity in modern office design. In fact, alkimi studio recently specified many acoustic art pieces for a Barangaroo workplace design.

This innovative approach addresses both the visual and auditory aspects of the work environment, contributing to a more productive and enjoyable workspace. There are several reasons as to its effectiveness:

  • Noise reduction
  • Aesthetic appeal
  • Improved, clear communication
  • Employee wellbeing

Sustainable Acoustic Art

Our acoustic art can also align with a company’s environmental goals, contributing to a greener workplace. The acoustic absorber is Global GreenTag GreenRate Level A certified, with a Global GreenTag HealthRATE Platinum certification.

The effectiveness of acoustic art in the workplace is multifaceted, addressing both practical and aesthetic concerns. By reducing noise, enhancing visual appeal, improving communication and privacy, and promoting employee wellbeing, acoustic art contributes to a more efficient and pleasant work environment.

Curtain Fabric

Curtains can also be highly effective in enhancing privacy and design in workplaces. They serve as a versatile solution for creating private spaces within open-plan offices, allowing employees to focus without distractions and hold confidential meetings.

Additionally, curtains offer an aesthetic advantage, available in various colours, patterns, and fabrics that can complement the interior design of the workspace. Here alkimi studio selected Sand Dunes Desert Oaks by Jimmy Pike, printed on Brooklyn Buff.

As workplaces continue to evolve, the integration of acoustic art, combined with Indigenous engagement, represents a forward-thinking approach to office design, balancing functionality with artistic expression.
