SOUND DETOX | AN ODE TO SILENCE AND BEAUTY
Project description — Sound Detox
Project type: Temporary installation / acoustic interior concept
Location: Paris (Paris Design Week 2025) and Amsterdam (GLUE 2025)
Materials: Leather: suede, acoustic panels broom and echo
During Paris Design Week 2025, SOUND DETOX appeared behind an unassuming Parisian façade. From the outside, mysterious — from the inside, a world that literally calmed its visitors. This temporary artwork demonstrated how acoustics and materials can enhance each other, transforming a bustling design week into a moment of stillness.
The response was unanimous: surprising, innovative, and disarming. For us, it was a confirmation of what material, form, and acoustics can mean in a space — an experience that goes beyond seeing alone.
For those who design and create
SOUND DETOX is more than an interior concept. It is an experience. A space where silence becomes tangible and beauty almost audible. With leather and acoustic panels, we create an environment that is not only functional, but above all emotionally moving. SOUND DETOX is designed for those who want to think beyond functionality. For those who believe that an interior can evoke emotion. For those who search for materials that are not only beautiful, but meaningful as well.
From Paris to Amsterdam
Following its success in Paris, we are bringing SOUND DETOX to the Netherlands this autumn. During GLUE Amsterdam 2025 (September 18–21), we invite you to step inside this world of silence and beauty. A place where leather and acoustics are not just solutions, but sources of inspiration for new designs.
We could tell you everything about exceptional interior design, about leather, about acoustics, and about the ultimate way these elements come together. But why not experience it for yourself — in the heart of Amsterdam? There is a place where silence becomes tangible. Where the magic of beauty becomes audible.
