Kvadrat Waves: fabric drape, weave and spatial presence in CGI
Kvadrat Waves acoustic curtains in CGI brand environments
For Kvadrat Waves, we built a digital model of the modular acoustic curtain system and placed it in four CGI interior environments. The focus was on its wave pattern, fabric drape and presence within each space. Kvadrat specifies a sound transmission loss of 12 to 15 dB for the multilayer curtain. Our images show the product within an architectural setting; they do not verify its acoustic performance.
Four interior concepts, one textile acoustic solution
The CGI series shows Waves in an open-plan office, an education space, a hotel lobby and a meeting room. Each scene was developed around the client brief. Color, furniture and daylight distinguish the four interiors, while the curtain system provides a common reference. The images show how the textile partition relates to different architectural settings.
Modeling the curtain system and showing the fabric structure
We modeled the wave pattern and fabric drape as detailed 3D geometry to Kvadrat's specifications. We accounted for how the curtain hangs, how the fabric rests and how the waves form when the curtain is open or closed. Fabric scans provided the basis for the digital materials. We aligned the textures on the model through UV mapping and adjusted the digitized fabric surfaces in relation to the lighting. Close-ups reveal the weave and sheen. The manual track system is also part of the model. Acoustic performance comes from the real product's multilayer construction, not from the appearance of its surface.
Four room scenes forming one image series
The same product geometry connects the different room scenes. Camera angles, colors and lighting can be adapted for further images, with each new variation checked against the product and material references. A configurator or AR application would require separate model preparation and testing in the intended system. This case study covers the CGI product images and brand environments created for Kvadrat.
