FRACTAL CODE – LARGE SCALE ACOUSTIC WALL PANELS

BY SCIENCE DESIGN LAB – A COLLABORATION BETWEEN 13&9 Design AND FRACTALS RESEARCH FOR XAL GROUP

The innovative acoustic wall panels with fractal patterns represent a breakthrough in biophilic design. They are based on research by Prof. Dr. Richard Taylor (University of Oregon & Fractals Research, USA) and 13&9 Design, uniquely merging design and science. Studies show that fractal patterns reduce stress by up to 60 percent, enhance cognitive performance, and improve focus. Discover an acoustic solution that aesthetically enriches spaces while also sustainably enhancing well-being.

Spending time in nature has a relaxing effect — thanks in part to stress-reducing fractal patterns. These patterns appear in many natural scenes. Examples include trees, clouds, rivers, and mountains. Over millions of years, our eyes have evolved to respond positively to these patterns. FRACTAL CODE captures these natural structures and brings them indoors. Using a specialised computer program developed by Prof. Dr. Richard Taylor and 13&9 Design, these patterns can be applied both indoors and outdoors. Studies indicate that viewing these fractal patterns can lower stress levels by up to 60 percent, enhance cognitive performance, and improve concentration.

The large-scale FRACTAL CODE acoustic panels create a quiet and harmonious work atmosphere. The acoustic elements are made from innovative, high-quality synthetic fleece, which is obtained from at least 50% post-consumer recycled PET felt and processed with the utmost precision. Local production ensures short transportation routes, making these acoustic elements a resource-saving, environmentally friendly, and forward-looking solution.

“An important finding from our psychological research is that even a short exposure to fractal patterns can reduce stress by up to 60 percent.”

Prof. Dr. Richard Taylor, Head of Fractals Research and Co-Founder of ScienceDesignLab

Carefully chosen colours are essential for creating a harmonious interior that seamlessly merges architecture and aesthetics. The large-scale FRACTAL CODE acoustic panels come in neutral colours that blend harmoniously with any environment. You can choose between monochromatic patterns or two-tone elements, which further highlight the fractal patterns to complement your interior concept.
