About SoftFold®

The complex interaction of variables lends power to design. Using our Soft Sound® acoustical material (100% PET plastic with up to 60% recycled content) and dimensional patterning, SoftFold® achieves acoustical dampening while creating a subtle play between light and shadow. It offers an award winning combination of design and functionality.

Key Features

Reduce & Diffuse Noise

SoftFold®'s Soft Sound® material reduces the impact of noise from everyday annoyances like ringing, typing, and chatter resulting in a more pleasant and productive environment. SoftFold®'s material works in concert with the faceted design to help reduce and control reverberations and diffuse sound leaving a lasting impression at scales ranging from assembly halls to conference rooms.
Expansive Soft Sound® Library

Choose from a large library of Soft Sound® colors and wood textures. Mix and match colors to accent fins and complement the color scheme of your space.
Dynamic Faceted Aesthetics

Bring striking texture to your space with SoftFold®'s geometric, faceted design, and add complexity to your ceilings with the origami of sound attenuation.
Easy Accessibility

SoftFold® modules offer easy accessibility across ceilings through a hinged attachment, allowing SoftFold® to swing down for access to building systems.
Preconfigured Solutions

SoftFold® is available in full and half-sized modules that seamlessly connect for further flexibility in your space.
Thoughtful Integration

SoftFold®'s design allows for a straightforward integration of systems such as lights, HVAC, rigging points, plumbing, AV equipment, and life safety systems, above or below the modules.
