Inspired by the sweeping acoustic drapery of historic opera houses, BuzziShake turns functional noise control into a poetic architectural gesture. Designed by Sebastian Herkner, its undulating PET Felt wave profile breaks away from rigid interior lines, drawing the eye upward while trapping reverberation across open offices, conference areas, and hospitality spaces.
BuzziShake is engineered as a highly versatile modular system across four distinct panel formats. Precision overlapping edges allow multiple panels to overlap edge-to-edge into continuous acoustic waves. For a more playful arrangement, suspend or wall-mount individual panels independently at varying heights and depths to craft multi-dimensional acoustic landscapes.
Beyond sound management, BuzziShake serves as a sculptural architectural screen. When ceiling-suspended, the overlapping wave geometry effortlessly conceals exposed mechanical decks, conduit, and technical ceiling infrastructure without blocking airflow or access.
Whether installed flat as a dynamic acoustic wall feature or cable-suspended overhead, BuzziShake adapts seamlessly to any room geometry. Create expansive, sound-absorbing feature walls or suspend floating acoustic islands above high-activity collaborative hubs.
Crafted from sound-absorbing PET Felt containing 60% post-consumer recycled content, BuzziShake is available in six curated shades: Cream 63, Ochre 65, Slate 32, Smoke 71, Frost 58, and Sage 20. Mix and match vibrant shades across adjacent modules for a dynamic, multi-toned effect, or select a single colorway for a clean, minimalist aesthetic.
Elevate functional sound control with ambient illumination. BuzziShake can be specified with integrated BuzziGlow LED lighting that follows the natural contours of the panel. Turn the light on for a warm, layered glow, or keep it unlit to showcase a clean, sculptural aesthetic.
Inspired by classic theater drapery, BuzziShake’s wave geometry increases overall surface exposure to trap sound waves effectively. This expanded absorption surface reduces reverberation and echo in open-plan offices, hospitality venues, lobbies, and conference rooms. The result is a quieter, visually captivating environment that balances acoustics with architectural drama.

Renowned German designer Sebastian Herkner created BuzziShake to bring fluidity, texture, and playfulness to technical acoustic solutions.
"We wanted to shake up the linear rhythm of modern commercial ceilings," notes Herkner. "By translating the soft, rhythmic movement of theater drapery into press-formed felt, BuzziShake turns sound absorption into an expressive architectural installation."
