Phonolook is the brand which Eterno Ivica officially launched in 2017 entering the sound-absorption market. This new product line consists of different panels, useful to improve the acoustic comfort of interiors, declined into three different sections: Phonolook Design, Phonolook Solution and Phonolook 3D.

In indoor environments, acoustic comfort plays a fundamental role in ensuring an adequate performance of any recreational activity, whether individual or group activity.

Often characterized by highly reflective materials such as glass, plaster, marble or concrete, these spaces do not guarantee a correct and homogeneous sound distribution, which turns into annoying reverberation penalizing the functionality of the spaces. Thus, in order to communicate and listen to in a comfortable manner, Eterno Ivica has produced this excellent product as an anti-reverberation solution.

 

Phonolook panels are indeed composed of a wooden or metal frame, inside which there is the sound-absorbing material in polyester fiber able to absorb and correct sounds mainly at medium and high frequencies – between 250 Hz and 4,000 Hz – and finally covered with Trevira CS fabric, an intrinsically fireproof material.

These are panels 100% made in Italy, handcrafted by hand with the utmost attention to detail. In fact, they stand out for their refined shapes and precious perimeter finishes, such as the elegant detail of the hand-stitched edge that gives a note of unique class; the fabric, available in different textures (KING-L, ROCCIA and the highly innovative 3D fabric in relief) allows to meet the tastes and needs of all customers; the possible different shapes and sizes, allow to play with geometries and imagination.

Phonolook is the result of a constant research and development work, they are panels configured as products in continuous evolution and improvement, guarantee of excellent acoustic performance and multiple aesthetic solutions.

For this reason, Eterno Ivica will present this high-quality product at two important upcoming fairs: in Dubai during the Surface Design Middle East event (17-19 September 2019) and at CERSAIE 2019 (23-27 September 2019) to further affirm the Phonolook brand in Italy and in the world.

DIFFERENT LOCATIONS FOR PHONOLOOK

Phonolook panels stand out for their effectiveness, as well as versatility of use and great ease of installation. In fact, they adapt to any type of environment and can be installed on the wall, ceiling or suspended.

The realizations of Phonolook are manifold and are articulated in different solutions.

PHONOLOOK IN RESTAURANTS AND PUBLIC SPACES

A recent realization, at the pizzeria “La Roda” near Vicenza, proves this type of intervention through the installation to the ceiling of several Phonolook Solution of different shapes and geometries. Some of these have been incorporated into the light, framing the luminous LED, while others have been positioned alternately according to the different dimensions.

What determines the customers’ approval rating of a restaurant is more often related to a few fundamental and widely recurring concepts.

In addition to a particular attention, obviously, to the menu and to the quality-price ratio, it is very often added another variable now rarely overlooked, which could be summarized with the generic term of “location”.

Different considerations can be made about it, from the purely architectural and stylistic aspect of the interior, to other physical indexes such as degree of lighting, temperature and noise level.

And it is precisely in this list of “environmental” factors that noise is becoming increasingly important; the issue of acoustic comfort is growing rapidly among restaurateurs and specialized designers who have therefore realized that they cannot omit the care of this aspect in setting up a quality restaurant.

 

Thus, Phonolook can be by the side of designers and restaurateurs to intervene and guarantee, in addition to the highest performance standards in terms of acoustic performance, also a remarkable decorative effect that can make the location better and more welcoming.

PHONOLOOK IN SCHOOLS

The acoustic quality of school environments is an aspect of fundamental importance if verbal communication and the intelligibility of speech have to be preserved and therefore the speed of learning process and the general conditions of psychophysical well-being of teachers and pupils should be encouraged.

For the well-being of students, for example, the Fontevivo Kindergarten (PR) has decided to intervene by improving the acoustic comfort of the rooms that most interest the pupils: the gym and the refectory room.

Eterno Ivica has thus installed 50 circular panels with a diameter of 600 mm and a thickness of 50 mm applied to the ceiling in the canteen by means of 4 steel cables and relative hooking accessories so as to allow the lowering of the height with respect to the slab.

In the gym, on the other hand, 42 hexagonal panels in different colors were requested with 500 mm side and 50 mm thickness applied to the ceiling using 4 magnets to ensure perfect adherence to the slab above.

An excellent result in terms of acoustic improvement but also in terms of aesthetic impact given by the different geometric shapes and bright colors used.

PHONOLOOK IN AUDITORIUMS AND CONFERENCE ROOMS

Eng. Scarpa, appointed by the Public Administration to carry out the functional improvement project for the room, was also responsible for conducting the ante and post-operation phonometric surveys, in order to verify the results actually achieved.

Public spaces such as council rooms, auditoriums and conference rooms are generally characterized by large sizes and volumes and above all by the presence of a large number of people. The combination of these two variables consequently generates recurring noise problems due to excessive reverberation of the spaces.

For this reason, the acoustic project of a conference room has a twofold objective: to reduce the disturbing noise sources and promote the intelligibility of speech.

Eterno Ivica was able to intervene with these aims to improve the new hall in the municipality of Bibione. In fact numerous Solution panels have been installed both on the ceiling and hung on the wall to implement the expected improvement as the project of Eng. Massimiliano Scarpa. Competent Technician in Acoustics with his studio based in Venice.

Eng. Scarpa, appointed by the Public Administration to carry out the functional improvement project for the room, was also responsible for conducting the ante and post-operation phonometric surveys, in order to verify the results actually achieved.

But Phonolook not only offers very high technical performance but is also able to furnish the rooms in an elegant and harmonious way. The possibility of customizing the panels, choosing from a wide range of different colors, is an option that satisfies and pleases our customers.

In this case, various shades of blue, yellow, green and dove have given the room an extra touch.

But that’s not all .. With Phonolook you can further customize the panel with an image of your choice by high-resolution inkjet printing directly on the fabric.
