The designer wanted a ceiling feature in the café of this garden centre for acoustic purposes. The ceiling also needed to complement the soft and colourful design with additional greenery.

Soft Panel in luxurious natural colour suede (colour M002) was specified at 25mm thickness.

Soft Panel is a great sound absorber, specifically designed to reduce and control reverberated noise in building interiors, helping to create a natural design with excellent acoustics – perfect for a busy social space.

The fabric panels integrate well with other design elements and they are removable for easy maintenance and future design flexibility.

Soft Panel has hygienic properties and is treated for protection against dust mites, mould and bacteria, keeping the fabric fresh as well as supporting better air quality and wellbeing.

The bespoke panels were manufactured to precise dimensions for the best fit, enabling fuss-free integration with no on-site cutting or finishing required.

Soft Panel is lightweight and easy to handle so installation is fast and straightforward. Vtec supplied the hanging wire system and full instructions, ensuring the installers had everything they needed for quick, easy installation and integration with additional décor.

• Colour selected from 32 standard colours
