Graphite: A Color Built from Shade

Graphite is a deep, matte grey tone inspired by the softness of pencil shading. When applied to NOWN’s SoftSound® acoustic material, the colour takes on a subtle, felted texture that feels quiet and architectural.

How the Color Behaves on SoftSound®

SoftSound® is made from recycled PET fibers, giving Graphite a natural grain and soft tonal variation. The colour reads like charcoal on textured paper — darker in the folds, lighter on the edges, always calm and controlled.

SoftFold® in Graphite

On SoftFold®, the Graphite tone becomes more dimensional. The faceted geometry creates gradients and shadows that echo hand-drawn lines. It’s a ceiling that looks both structured and sketched — precise but still soft.

Why Designers Choose Graphite

Graphite offers depth without shine, contrast without colour, and texture without pattern. It grounds a space, absorbs sound and brightness, and brings a monochrome aesthetic that feels refined, modern, and quietly expressive.
