Acoustic frames
designed to absorb ambient noise.
A controlled
structure
Each acoustic frame is based on a precise combination: an aluminum profile for the structure, acoustic insulation to trap sound waves, and stretched acoustic fabric.
Customized solutions
The frames can be fixed to the wall, suspended from the ceiling, or designed as free-standing panels. They can therefore be adapted to the geometry of the premises and the constraints of the project: targeted acoustic correction, space division, improvement of acoustic comfort in large volumes, etc. Each solution is custom-designed according to the expected performance and the environment.
Simple installation
and scalable
The fastening systems are designed for quick installation. Once the frame is installed, the stretched fabric can be easily replaced without dismantling the structure, for a change of visual, renovation, or maintenance. Ideal for constantly changing locations.

SWALopus™
How is a SWALopus™ acoustic frame designed?
A technical assembly designed for long-lasting acoustic performance.
The design of a SWALopus™ acoustic frame is based on a structure that combines performance, robustness, and aesthetics. The aluminum profile forms the basis of the frame. Lightweight and rigid, it is available in different depths (21, 50, or 80 mm) to meet various acoustic requirements and integration constraints.
This variety allows the absorption capacity and total thickness of the frame to be adjusted according to the specific requirements of each project. The profile can be visible, offering a contemporary designer finish, or concealed for a more discreet look. Its finish is carefully chosen to blend in perfectly with the environment, whether through anodized treatment, lacquered paint, or other customization.
At the heart of the frame, SWALsoft™ acoustic fleece plays a crucial role. This fibrous material is specially selected for its ability to effectively absorb sound waves. Its thickness and density are key to covering a wide range of frequencies, particularly mid-range and high frequencies, which are the main sources of annoying echoes and reverberation in a space.
The stretched acoustic fabric closes off the frame, serving both a technical and aesthetic purpose. It is designed to be sufficiently sound-permeable to allow sound waves to pass through to the absorbent fleece, thereby maximizing the effectiveness of the acoustic treatment.
The fabric is tensioned using a spatula or a sewn rod system, ensuring perfect hold over time and preventing any slackening or deformation. By combining these three elements (profile, fleece, and fabric), SWALopus™ acoustic frames offer a comprehensive solution that integrates perfectly into any space.
The fabric can be offered in a plain version for a simple and elegant look, printed for a strong visual customization, or even backlit, adding an extra dimension to the decor without compromising acoustic performance.
This innovative technical architecture significantly improves sound quality in living and working spaces, reducing auditory fatigue and improving concentration. It blends harmoniously with interior design without requiring major work or structural modifications, offering a solution that is aesthetic, practical, and effective.

In a space, sound propagates and bounces off reflective surfaces, creating reverberation that disrupts listening comfort. This phenomenon causes echoes, muddles conversations, and increases listening fatigue, especially in offices, meeting rooms, or public places.
The SWALopus™ acoustic frame works by absorbing these sound waves. The fleece lining inside captures mid-range and high frequencies, which are primarily responsible for annoying sound reflections. The stretched fabric, meanwhile, is designed to allow sound to pass through to the absorbent core, thereby optimizing the effectiveness of the treatment.
With a sound absorption coefficient of up to αw 1, this solution significantly reduces reverberation, improves sound clarity, and creates a quieter, more pleasant environment without the need for heavy construction or structural modifications.
SWALopus™ designs a wide range of custom acoustic objects, designed to give rhythm to a space and bring a new dimension to it. Among them, wall frames, freestanding and suspended panels play a key role in improving acoustic comfort while structuring the space. In addition, there are screens, totems, and acoustic booths, which allow for the creation of distinct and functional areas without partitioning or weighing down the layout. Some frames can also be used outdoors, thanks to coatings adapted to climatic conditions.
Each element can be fully customized: shape, size, thickness, and finish are tailored to precisely meet the constraints and expectations of the project. Whether the desired style is understated and minimalist or more bold and graphic, these objects blend harmoniously into any environment, from modern offices and elegant reception areas to dynamic exhibition stands, showrooms, and event spaces.
Beyond their technical function, these frames and panels are designed as genuine design pieces. They add a strong aesthetic dimension, enhancing open or temporary spaces with their clean lines and high-quality materials. This combination of acoustic performance and visual excellence helps to create pleasant environments that promote well-being and concentration.

SWALopus™
An installation that adapts to your project.
Ease of installation is a major advantage of SWALopus™ acoustic frames. Several installation methods are possible, adapted to the constraints and specificities of each project.
For wall frames, they can be attached using screws, magnets, or simply with a hanging system similar to that used for pictures, depending on the type of surface. Suspended frames are attached using magnets, screws, or self-locking cables so that the height can be adjusted. This configuration remains an ideal solution for large volumes while keeping surfaces clear. As for freestanding panels mounted on stands, they can be installed without being attached to the floor or wall, offering great freedom of repositioning.
The mounting systems are designed to simplify frame installation while ensuring perfect stability. Finally, the stretched fabric, a key element in aesthetics and acoustic performance, can be easily replaced without dismantling the frame. This modularity facilitates maintenance, renovation, or customization of spaces over time.
