Dezeen promotion: interior-finishes company Woven Image has collaborated with designer Michael Young to launch a collection of acoustic panels featuring "technical decorations" based on algorithms.
Comprised of three styles, Muse Fluid, Muse Cloudy and Muse Mineral, the collection of acoustic panels are printed with patterns generated using a software program called Grasshopper.
Specifically designed for floor-to-ceiling wall applications, the Muse range provides acoustic benefits by reducing reverberated noise in shared spaces, such as workplace and hospitality environments.

"I believe that Muse is genuinely cutting edge," said British industrial-designer Young. "It seems to me that an industrial design office is going to take a different approach to creating a pattern than an artist or even a graphic designer." "By setting up an animated algorithm we generated a changing two-dimensional pattern and freed the animation at a particular point to build the final image," he explained.
"In other words, we are not creating conceptual decoration but technical decoration," added Young. "The finished results look wonderfully mathematical."

The Muse Fluid style is designed to emulate the movement of the ocean, comprised of numerous dots organised in rows that flow across the panel to create a "wave-like" effect.
Described as looking like "beads on a string", this pattern is available in five different ...
