Palpable silence
Silence is, in equal parts, tranquil and torturous. One person’s discomfort is another person’s solace. Silence is subjective, multi-faceted, and necessary; as a sonic dualism, noise cannot exist without silence. To accurately sculpt the absence of sound, incorporating the nuance of its extremes, the design team turned to abstract silhouettes. The result is a wall made up of ribbon-esque strips of Cube™, folded like origami to form a pattern of tessellated wedges. Drawing inspiration from the triangular shapes common in anechoic chambers, the wedges fluently capture the concept of dualism in the juxtaposition of their angular form with the warm, honeycomb palette.
