CHICAGO, IL June, 2015 – New Unika Vaev product introductions to be unveiled at the NeoCon
World’s Trade Fair 2015
Fusion Collection
The Fusion Collection of Muse, Cocoon and Tailor pays homage to the classic tradition of finely
crafted wool products with a nod to haute couture. Moving away from flat color finish, the Fusion
Collection creates a sensory experience - encouraging touch and engagement with surface.
With integrity at the heart of the collection, the three designs are of superb quality and possess
timeless beauty. Muse, Cocoon and Tailor can be fused seamlessly into a design scheme that
creates layers of texture and subtle pattern.
Muse – Muse is a distinctive new design from the sustainable LIFE™ Textile collection that
epitomizes simplicity and the provenance of traditional manufacturing. With an innovative color
direction, Muse is an effortlessly beautiful and a highly versatile modern classic that is ideal for
both contemporary and traditional pieces. Muse is available in 17 color-ways.
Cocoon – Cocoon is a celebration of texture. This soft and luxurious boucle provides a tactile
experience with its exaggerated surface. The beautiful and understated palette is inspired by wet,
sandy, stony hues embedded in layers of rock, sea mist and damp greenery. Cocoon is available
in 8 color-ways.
Tailor – Tailor is a contemporary and classic textile inspired by fine tailoring and traditional
craftsmanship. Woven from a mélange yarn, the sophisticated textile features a subtle and beautiful
heathered texture. The color palette includes classic neutrals, and deep rich navy and plum hues

Ecoustic™ Panel Prints
Following up on the success of its ecoustic™ sound absorbing panel and screen collection, Unika
Vaev introduces two new compelling silkscreen print designs. Patterns Plus and Raw each bring a
unique design direction to our comprehensive collection of ecoustic™ panel and screen products.
Plus – an exciting new pattern designed by Michael Young that follows the successes of his ecoustic™
print designs Tri, Meta and Disc. Designed using specialized interactive software, Plus was created
by randomizing and harmonizing over 50,000 mathematical intersections to provide a balanced fullwidth repeat. Six hand silkscreened color-ways are available on selected marl and solid ecoustic™ felt.
Raw - is a textured print designed by manipulating photographic imagery of brick and stone and
thereby projecting the beauty of natural unfinished and weathered surfaces. The juxtaposition of hard
surfaces imagery upon a soft textile surface provides an industrial aesthetic with a unique acoustic
solution. Raw is available in seven hand silkscreened color-ways on selected marl and solid
ecoustic™ felt.
Ecoustic™ Sound Absorbing Tiles
The latest additions to Unika Vaev’s extensive collection of ecoustic™ sound absorbing tiles are
ecoustic™ Bond and ecoustic™ Matrix Ceiling Tile.
Bond – The design of Bond is inspired by alterations in atoms and molecules. By changing the color
and orientation of these acoustic wall tiles tiles, subtle or commanding patterns are created that play
with light and shadow. Bond is available in 16 color-ways of ecoustic™ felt. Its NRC rating
of .60 can be improved by use of an optional infill core.
Matrix Ceiling Tile – The three dimensional design of ecoustic Matrix Ceiling Tile enhances sound
absorption and diffusion for suspended ceiling applications. Lightweight and easy to install, it is
designed to fit standard 24” x 24” drop ceiling grid systems. Matrix Ceiling Tile is available in 16

In an office, proper room acoustics is a key
factor to work performance and employee
well-being. In a classroom, acoustically impaired settings lead to decreased attention
and reduced cognitive ability. In a restaurant
or auditorium, acoustically uncomfortable
spaces can spoil the best occasion.
It is difficult to imagine any well-designed
interior space used for communication and
social interaction that does not take acoustic
performance into account.
The Unika Vaev Acoustical Collection provides multiple functional and aesthetical
acoustical ceiling and wall treatment solutions to effect sound absorption and sound
diffusion in a wide range of interior spaces.
Our purpose is to minimize noise distraction
while maintaining the benefits that human
interaction brings to work and social
environments.

Glass Cover by Fraster
Space Cover & Glass Cover Double by Fraster
Glass Cover presents a design solution for areas with
large expanses of glass. This 100% wool felt product
limits sound reflection on glass walls (NRC of .15)
without significant obstruction to light. A magnetic
fixturing system permits it to float over glass. Glass
Cover is available in 28 color-ways of wool felt and
can also be designed to create your own pattern or
logo. Let your imagination run wild!
Space Cover and Glass Cover Double add a unique dimensional aesthetic for both glass walls and large
open spaces. Both products consist of two color layers of 3mm felt with pattern cutouts that provide an
elegant play of color from the underlying felt. For both of these products, a custom color effect can be
achieved by inserting 5mm accent colors in the pattern cutouts.

The pArtScience SpaceArray™ provides excellent acoustical diffusion
without visual patterning. Strong but lightweight, the beautiful 24”
by 24” wood panels install easily and can be used in a variety of
placement options. The back of the SpaceArray™ features sound
damping for improved acoustical performance. When mounted
away from the wall, the unit provides low frequency absorption.
The pArtScience SpaceCoupler™ optimizes acoustical environments
by providing acoustical boundary interaction between loosely
coupled spaces. SpaceCoupler™ is also effective at first reflection
control without adding absorption and when used in conjunction
with ecoustic™ panels the SpaceCoupler™ can enhance low
frequency sound absorption.
Strong but light-weight, the beautiful 24”x 24” solid wood panels of
SpaceArray™ and SpaceCoupler™ are ideal for control rooms,
auditoriums, performance venues, listening rooms, home theaters,
and worship spaces.

Acoustic Terms & Definitions
Absorption: The conversion of sound energy
to heat energy. It varies with the frequency
and angle of incidence of the sound that
strikes acoustic material. A “soft room” is a
space with highly absorbent surfaces whereas
a “hard room” has surfaces of low absorbent
value and are therefore highly reflective and
reverberant.

Decibel (dB): The measurement term used
to define sound intensity. A 10 times increase
in sound intensity is defined as a Bel (named
after Alexander Graham Bell); 4 Bels represent a 10,000 times increase in sound
intensity. A decibel is 1/10th a Bel; 40 dB
equal 4 Bels. A 1dB change in sound
intensity is just noticeable; most humans
can distinguish a 3dB change and consider
a 10dB change as twice or half loud.

Air-borne sound: Sound that travels through
air rather than through structure.
Air Gap: For effective absorption of sound
energy, the sound wave should pass through
the absorbent material during its maximum
velocity (quarter-wavelength). The speed of
sound is zero when it meets a rigid barrier
such as the backing wall of a sound absorbing material. Increasing the thickness of the
sound absorber or providing an air gap between the absorber and wall will improve
absorption.
Broadband sound: A spectrum of sound
consisting of a large number of frequencies,
none of which is dominant.
Diffraction: The change in direction of sound
resulting from a discontinuity of a boundary
(say, an open door).
Diffusion: A means to distribute sound
energy in equally probable directions.

Frequency: The number of back and forth
vibrations of air molecules (cycles) that occur
in a second; expressed as Hertz (Hz). Sometimes known as pitch.
Hearing: The ability of the human ear to
translate changes from ambient atmospheric
pressure caused by sound energy into a
signal recognizable by the brain. Sensitivity
to sound depends upon its frequency and
energy. The audible range of frequency for
humans is 20Hz to 20,000Hz, provided that
at least 0 dB of sound intensity (the threshold of hearing) is present.
In phase: Sound waves that reach their peak
compressions (and rarefactions) at the same
time.
Insulation: The ability of material to prevent
sound from reaching a location either by
reflection back to the sound source or by
acoustic resistance.
Inverse-square law: Sound intensity (sound
energy per unit of area) varies inversely with
the square of the distance from its source.
Sound intensity decreases 6 dB for each
doubling of the distance from its source.
Noise: Unwanted sound having no utility
which may be airborne or structure-borne.
Like a pollutant, noise needs to be limited
and controlled to diminish its negative
physiological, psychological, behavioral
and cognitive affects.
Noise reduction coefficient (NRC): The arithmetical average, expressed as a decimal to
the nearest .05, of the sound absorption
coefficients at 250Hz, 500Hz, 1000Hz, and
2000Hz.
Octave: A doubling or halving of frequency.
20Hz-40Hz is considered the bottom octave
in a series of even-order harmonics that extend without limit beyond the audible range.
Reflection: Sound and light are reflected off
smooth surfaces in a similar manner – the
angle of incidence equals the angle of
reflection.
Refraction: The bending of sound waves
travelling through media that conduct sound
at varying speed.
Resonant frequency: Any object will vibrate
at a particular sound frequency, its natural
resonant frequency, when disturbed by
physical force or by sound having frequency
equal to its resonant frequency.
Reverberation: The lingering of sound in an
enclosed space after the original sound
source has stopped. A room with much
reverb is said to be “live”; one without reverb
is said to be “dead”.
Reverberation time (RT60): The time, in
seconds, that reverberant sound energy in
a space diminishes by 60dB.
Sabin: The measurement unit, in inchpounds, of sound absorption. One square
foot of acoustic material having a sound
absorption coefficient of 1 has a Sabin
value of 1.
Sabine, Wallace C.: The father of modern
acoustics and the developer of the Sabine
reverberation equation; RT60 = .049 sec./ft. x
Volume/Absorption Surface
Sound: A vibrational disturbance comprised
of alternating compressions and rarefactions
of air molecules. The compressions push air
together and thereby cause higher-thannormal atmospheric pressure, whereas
rarefactions spread air molecules further
apart thereby causing lower-than-normal
atmospheric pressure. Total sound energy
is the potential energy from ambient air
pressure and the kinetic energy of moving
air molecules.
Sound absorption coefficient (“alpha”): The
amount, expressed as a decimal value
between 0 and 1 to the nearest .05, of sound
energy that is absorbed, or otherwise not
reflected, by an acoustic material at a
specified frequency.
Sound masking: The process by which the
audibility of one sound is diminished by the
introduction of another sound. White noise
uses equal sound energy at all frequencies
and thereby favors higher frequency spectra.
Pink noise balances sound energy over a
series of octaves and sounds less harsh.
Sound transmission class (STC): A rating
system that provides an estimate of the
insulation ability of a partition.
Structure-borne noise: The generation of
unwanted radiated sound caused by
vibrational forces in solid materials.
Wavelength: The distance a sound wave
travels from compression to the next
compression. The wavelength (or period)
of sound at any frequency can be computed
by dividing the speed of sound (1087 ft./sec.)
by its frequency. At 20Hz, the wavelength of
sound is 56 feet long. These long sound
waves give low frequency sound (bass) its
penetrating ability.
