Pop-Color Acoustic Dampening Privacy Screens

As a latest addition to this fun funky SF office we renovated last year, these pop-color acoustic / sound dampening privacy screens now line the open office area. They provide much desired privacy for those seated along the hallway in this open office design.

We love to work with innovative and eco friendly materials. These privacy screens are made from a recycled PET, formed into a dense but light weight felt board. The boards soft physical properties create an acoustic dampening effect, helping mitigate the noise travel in the open space. The dense but soft material can also act as a pinboard & the light weight allows them to be easily moved around.

Since we wanted these screens to fit exactly to the desks, we made them to suite at our in house fabrication shop. The legs are cut from a thick aluminum and then bent to shape. Since we were making these custom, we added a cute little foot to the end profile.

Our pop-color felt panels are framed with the black stands, creating an interchangeable collection of desk screens that can easily be moved around the office by the client. With the durable frame and thick felt panel combination, we think they’ll enjoy their new acoustic dampening screens for a long time!
