Panels built to listen as carefully as you do.

Acoustic Design hand-builds fabric-wrapped acoustic panels and corner bass traps in Auckland, framed in recycled timber and finished to sit quietly in the room — until you hear the difference.

Our Approach

Every panel starts as offcut timber, not a spec sheet.

We build acoustic treatment the way a joiner builds furniture: a solid recycled-timber frame, dense mineral wool tuned to the room, and a fabric face chosen to disappear into your wall. No flat-pack foam, no polystyrene wedges.

Every project is measured, framed and wrapped to order from our Auckland workshop — for home theatres chasing a cleaner mix, music studios taming early reflections, and lounges that just sound too loud for their own good.

Inside the Panel

Three layers, one quiet room.

Nothing hidden — just a timber frame, dense absorptive wool, and a breathable acoustic fabric, built up by hand for every panel.

How a Panel Gets Made

From offcut timber to finished panel.

Room & measure

We talk through your space — home theatre, studio or lounge — and take measurements and photos of the walls in question.

Frame & fill

Recycled timber is cut and braced to size, then packed with mineral wool at the density your frequency range needs.

Wrap & finish

Panels are hand-wrapped in your chosen fabric, corners mitred flat, and fitted with concealed wall brackets.

Install

We deliver and hang, or ship flat-packed with brackets and instructions for a tidy DIY install.

In the Workshop

Built in small batches, cured in the sun.

Every run of panels is built, wrapped and left to settle before it ever reaches a wall — a small-batch process that keeps every edge square.
