PLECTERE introduces texture to for example, office spaces and muffles noise to allow for better focus and concentration as well as a pleasant spatial experience.

It is sound absorbent, improves the acoustic properties of a room, and introduces privacy and tactility to an office or specific space.  The Product is flexible so easy to fit and adapt to any space and is rather like piece of well-designed furniture.

Normally acoustic improving materials are massive and not transparent at all. The use of this braided felt give you the best of both; the objects have excellent acoustic performances as well as translucency.

Studio Petra Vonk presents PLECTERE acoustic textile design, creating calm, comfort and tactility while improving acoustic quality in interior spaces. PLECTERE offers a solution for spaces where acoustic improvement and more tactility is desired. 

PLECTERE introduces texture and warmth to office spaces, dampens sounds through its excellent acoustic properties and contributes to better employee focus and concentration. Through more privacy, pleasant acoustics, comfort and tactility on the work floor, employees perform better. PLECTERE can be introduced early on in the design process as semi-transparent space dividers to delineate different work areas. PLECTERE can also be applied to existing workspaces to specify work areas while providing more privacy and peace. It is easily relocated, so it can grow with the demands of the spatial environment.

PLECTERE is a handmade piece of work made from woolen felt strips that can be used as a partition wall or room divider. It improves the experience of the space through its excellent acoustic mitigating characteristics.

The work is characterized by a visually attractive 3D structure with an intriguing, repeating pattern. PLECTERE exhibits a remarkable effective acoustic function by weaving the felt into a 3D structure. The transparency of PLECTERE allows the user to demarcate spaces without hermetically sealing them off.

In addition to straight surfaces such as curtains, room dividers and partition walls, PLECTERE can also be used to create more sculptural forms. Because the final mesh still behaves as a kind of cloth let it form. In fact the suspension of the fabric itself actually determines its vertical form. All kinds of bends, garlands and corners can be formed within the cloth depending on what the space wants.

The state-of-the-art new headquarters of Vanderlande industries in Veghel has been offered a gift.

PLECTERE acoustic and textural improving room dividers now also bring privacy to this huge space.

To improve the tactile quality in the hallway, we installed huge PLECTERE tube objects.

After the renovation of a former church into a doctor’s office on the Wittekade in Amsterdam, it became apparent that the acoustics were truly something to be desired. Patients often had difficulty even understanding the doctor. Due to the use of hard materials like concrete flooring and smoothly
plastered walls, this problem is very common. Petra Vonk was approached to solve this issue without violating the clean, modern interior’s appearance. Through the application of tactile materials with good acoustic properties, Vonk was able to create a beautiful solution to what had been an unmanageable problem. The acoustics were optimized by applying 2 wall hangings in every consult room, resulting in clear audibility and beautiful works of art on the wall. The hollow sounding corridors leading to the consult rooms asked
for wall dressings to better the acoustics to a more pleasant level.
