Creative Soundproofing Solutions by Ayrsonics for Every Space

What do university libraries, nurseries and home offices all have in common? A shared need for effective soundproofing materials. From wall dividers in the shape of cityscapes to cloud-like ceiling fixtures, Ayrsonics brings beautiful design to sound control. The Canadian manufacturer has reimagined soundproofing with its high-quality, custom acoustic materials in innovative forms. Among its most prized products is EzoBord, a raw, sound absorbing material made of 100% PET plastic.

EzoBord

In a Government of Canada office building, Ayrsonics – which received a DL Love Tag at this year’s Interior Design Show – installed EzoBord ceiling features in the shape of maple leafs add on-the-nose character and double as an effecting sound solution for echoes and busy lunch breaks. In spaces where there tends to be a lot of chatter, the material is designed to buffer sound bounce and reduce background noise.

Soundproofing light fixtures

Engineered using bespoke print capabilities to create intricate designs and a wide range of colour choices, EzoBord merges visual interest and high functionality. By adding depth and texture to a space, this innovative material confronts design through touch, sight and sound.

When augmented as acoustical netting, a series of interlocking and precision-cut louvres are designed to rest on top of modular wall systems or to be suspended from ceilings, creating an encapsulating atmosphere enhanced by embedded lighting.

The industrial designer and textile artist shares the inspirations that keep her loom whirring

In a seaside cottage in Shediac, New Brunswick, the soft hiss and swish of high-tide molds my mood like putty. Breathing in the deep calm—and the smell of last night’s seafood—my mind is miles away from my home in cosmopolitan Toronto. Here, craft feels as grounded as the clams they dig for each morning, and as I prepare for my call with textile artist Laura Carwardine, I can’t help but wonder *Carrie Bradshaw voice* what is the future of textile art in Toronto?
