SOUNDCATCHER WINS iF DESIGN AWARD 2025
After two years of development, we are honored that SOUNDCATCHER, designed for our collaborator XAL Group, has been awarded the iF DESIGN AWARD 2025 – one of the most prestigious and renowned design awards in the world. Every year, several thousand designers, architects, and companies from around the globe participate to have their designs evaluated by independent design experts.
SOUNDCATCHER’s unique design combines work-compatible lighting with effective sound absorption and versatile functionality. As a stand-alone design object – available in angular, round, or octagonal shapes – it offers a striking aesthetic from every angle. As a modular system, with or without integrated lighting, SOUNDCATCHER enables the creation of ceiling fields in various sizes for spatial zoning. The cavities between the layers efficiently trap sound. These qualities make SOUNDCATCHER an ideal solution for office, restaurant, and hotel environments, as well as educational facilities.
In the iF Design Final Jury, 131 international, independent design and sustainability experts decided to honor our design achievements with two iF DESIGN AWARDS 2025, awarding us a total of 270 points.
We would like to thank the jury as well as our team at 13&9 Design, XAL Group, and Fractals Research for these outstanding results.
