In the realm of architectural innovation, Hunter Douglas Architectural continues to be at the forefront, introducing HeartFelt® Groove, a captivating addition to the renowned HeartFelt® ceiling collection.
This remarkable ceiling system features slim felt panels, offering unparalleled acoustic and visual properties that redefine the possibilities of interior design.
At the heart of HeartFelt Groove is a new type of panel that promises to revolutionise how we think about ceilings. This box-shaped, 60mm by 50mm panel is installed with a module of 80mm, creating a gap of 20mm between panels.
Katrin Summ, Product Manager of Hunter Douglas Architectural, said: “With HeartFelt Groove, we’ve taken the concept of the ceiling panel and redefined it. It’s more than just an architectural element; it’s an experience in sound, style, and sophistication.”
Previous panels were largely variations of the box-shaped design (a ‘U-form’), but HeartFelt Groove takes a bold step by introducing a ‘W-form’. This two-fold deformation of the felt strip creates a ‘form within a form’, setting a unique standard in the linear ceiling market.
There’s more than meets the eye with HeartFelt® Groove. It first appears to be very slim panels of just 20mm wide, giving the impression of numerous slim panels. However, the technical suspension system allows for a clever illusion: the actual number of installed panels is only half what you perceive. This feature enhances both the visual appeal and acoustic functionality of the space.
One of the standout features of the HeartFelt Groove ceiling system is its exceptional acoustic performance. With an impressive absorption value (αw) of 0.70, it is an ideal choice for spaces where sound quality matters most. From offices to conference rooms, this ceiling system ensures that every word is crystal clear and every presentation is heard without a hitch.
With its twofold deformation in the production process, the Groove panel is rigid, without the need for any extra materials. This characteristic means it is also perfect for wall panels.
The HeartFelt Groove system not only enhances the acoustics of a space but also provides an authentic, warm look and feel. It is available in a palette of five shades of grey.
With the introduction of HeartFelt Groove, Hunter Douglas Architectural once again showcases its commitment to innovation and excellence.
