Fabrix™ is a fabric system that uses proprietary polymer tracks to construct acoustic panels.
The curved ceiling was inspired by Hokusai’s famous wood-block print, “The Great Wave off Kanagawa”.
Fabrix™ ML27S (Mid Load, 27mm Height, Square Profile) was used to form three-dimensionally curved surfaces, to emulate the undulating tidal surface of the ocean waves. The fabric tracks have a small gap cut intermittently cross-wise, to allow them to flex to the correct curvature. The panels can be made to simulate complex topographies such as convex, concave, and saddle point surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fabrix™ is a fabric system that uses proprietary polymer tracks and acoustic fabric to construct high-performance acoustic panels for walls and ceilings. The system supports freeform and curved installations, allowing designers to create complex three-dimensional surfaces such as convex, concave, and saddle point forms.
Fabrix™ systems combine stretch fabric with an acoustic substrate, allowing sound waves to pass through the fabric and into absorptive material behind it. This acoustic solution helps reduce reverberation and improve clarity in spaces like offices, hospitality areas, and feature ceilings.
Yes. Fabrix™ tracks can be cut with intermittent gaps to flex in multiple directions, enabling curved surfaces such as wave-inspired ceilings. This allows the system to emulate organic geometries for architectural and artistic applications.
Fabrix™ products are tested to meet stringent industry standards, including low toxicity emission, fire-rated performance under EN 13501-1 Class B, and smoke density requirements. The system also supports sustainable design practices with low VOC materials.
Fabrix™ has been used in projects featuring parametric design and complex curved ceilings, notably in commercial and workspace environments such as Aural-Aid HQ where a wave-inspired acoustic ceiling was created using Fabrix™.
