Placid Pleats

BuzziSpace’s BuzziPleat may be suspended at any height, helping to mitigate noise in spaces from classrooms to cathedrals. The acoustical genius of the product comes in the form of its pleated design, which maximizes surface area and forms an ideal material-to-airspace ratio, maximizing the product’s acoustical properties. The hand-assembled acoustical cloud contributes to dynamic design topography while creating a biophilic event for the brain, suggests designer Anastasia Su of 13&9. “With the digital overload, we need smart and simple solutions to balance that shift with the physical world and biophilia.” Designers may use BuzziSpace’s ingenious RT60 app to illustrate the reverberation levels in a space before and after the installation of room acoustics solutions.
