Research Empa St. Gallen

acoustic curtain LIQUID classic 100

In spring 2011, Annette Douglas launched the «Silent Space Collection», a worldwide novelty and the beginning of the transparent acoustic curtain collection by Annette Douglas Textiles ACOUSTICS®. The result of years of research efforts, as a CTI research project in close collaboration with the EMPA (Federal Laboratories for Materials Science & Technology). Annette Douglas Textiles ACOUSTICS® is the world's first creation of a translucent and effective acoustic fabric – the original. Experts are thrilled at the «Silent Space Collection» and enthusiastic about the measurable outcome.

Empa St. Gallen, the building by architect Theo Hotz, an architecture with many reverberant materials, served as a good test object in the development of the acoustic curtains in the research project.
