Onyx: A Deep, Architectural Black for Acoustic Ceilings and Modern Interior Design

Onyx is the darkest tone available on SoftSound®, NOWN’s PET felt acoustic material made with up to 60% recycled content. The color is a clean, matte black inspired by polished onyx stone and refined architectural detailing. In contemporary commercial interiors, Onyx adds a grounded, structured presence to ceiling and wall systems.

SoftSound® gives Onyx a subtle, felted texture that keeps the black tone controlled and material-driven — not glossy, not reflective, and not overpowering. The result is a stable black finish that integrates easily into interiors using concrete, metal, warm wood, or monochrome palettes.

SoftSound®  :

• Up to 60% recycled content

• Modular ceiling system compatibility

SoftGrid® Round: Onyx on a Curved Acoustic Ceiling System

The featured system is SoftGrid® Round, a curved acoustic ceiling solution made from interlocking SoftSound® baffles. The system forms a circular grid overhead, giving the ceiling a soft, flowing geometry while still maintaining structure and direction.

In Onyx, SoftGrid® Round becomes a bold yet clean architectural element:

• the curved baffles appear sharper and more defined

• shadow lines form naturally across the circular grid

• the ceiling gains a sculptural, modern identity

• the modular design supports efficient installation

• field-trimmability allows precise alignment in real construction conditions

SoftGrid® Round in Onyx is ideal for commercial interiors, workplace design, hospitality ceilings, retail, and education environments where acoustic performance and strong visual identity need to work together.
