Very nice! Thank you so much for this.
A labour of love
At the Stockholm Furniture and Light Fair 2020, we first revealed The Book of Acoustics. The (BoA) was something we had as an idea for a long time. A book that provides guidance for architects, interior designers and entrepreneurs on acoustics and functions as a source of knowledge and inspiration regarding noise; an area we thought was relatively unexplored. We thought that knowledge was lacking and we wanted to do something about this.
The book gained a lot of interest and within a couple of days, our first print of this book ran out of stock. Now, finally, we can offer you this book as a hardcopy.
What we did
Through interviews with psychologists, neuroscientists, acousticians, and designers, the book covers everything from the history of acoustics, how sound occurs and is controlled, to how acoustic design can increase creativity, productivity and wellbeing.
We wanted the knowledge that we provided was hands-on and aimed toward interior architecture and architecture. That you’ll learn the fundamentals of sound control and everything you need to know to start feeling more confident working with acoustic treatments in your design projects.
Accessible for everyone
We want knowledge to be accessible to everyone. We hope to spread knowledge about how sound and noise affect our senses, our bodies and ultimately our wellbeing. That is why The Book of Acoustics is still free to read online and downloadable as a PDF.
If you enjoy the book or need a physical copy for your day to day operations as a working professional, the book is now available for purchase!

I’m excited about variable acoustics… when you think about the potential of taking one room and giving it completely different purposes, or making a room that’s really intended for conferences or presentations also passable for musical performance, then you’ve just created two rooms out of one.

In the future, acoustics will become even more important because people are becoming more and more aware of how it affects wellbeing.
