Ecophon

Featured in the lobby of the Institute for Human Centered Design, The Ecophon Solo free hanging units allow flexibility in creating an acoustically comfortable space in an artful approach which is true to the mission of Ecophon, to contribute to a superior environment for the eye, ear, and mind. The Solo Circles enhance the contemporary and spirited design in an area that has many acoustically reverberant surfaces.

Years of solid research teaches us the positive impact of good acoustical design on human performance, health, and well-being. Our hearing was developed for life beyond walls, floors, and ceilings. Creating a pleasant sound environment in our rooms is vital if we are to function and stay well-balanced as individuals. In many environments where people are present and communicate, high sound levels are perceived as one of the most disturbing factors. High noise levels have a negative effect on us and affect health, communication, safety, economy (effectiveness/productivity), learning and general wellbeing.

Since 1958 and in the USA for the past couple decades, Ecophon is the leading, global manufacturer of sound absorbing ceilings and wall systems focused on delivering end-user value wherever people work and communicate. Ecophon is part of the CertainTeed Ceilings portfolio. CertainTeed is the leading North American manufacturer of interior and exterior building products, since 1904. Ecophon and CertainTeed are part of the Saint Gobain Corporation, created in 1665, and the world leader in habitat and construction markets, and the largest building manufacturer in the world.
