Spaces Designed for Sound

Some interiors are designed to be seen. Others are designed to be heard. 

In El Willy HiFi Bar, the entire spatial experience is shaped around high-fidelity sound. Every element is reduced to what matters, allowing acoustics, rhythm and presence to take centre stage. The result is a space that feels intentionally quiet visually, yet deeply immersive.

Softening the soundscape

In a space centred around high-fidelity sound, acoustics become an integral part of the material palette.

Textiles play a key role in softening and balancing the soundscape. Upholstered surfaces absorb and diffuse sound, reducing harsh reflections and creating a more controlled listening environment.

Fabrics contribute to how sound moves through the space. They help shape a setting where clarity and depth can be experienced without distraction.

Understated luxury

Luxury here is not expressed through excess, but through precision.

At the bar, seating upholstered in Focus Royal introduces a distinct, textural presence. Its duo-toned melange and irregular structure create subtle movement across the surface, adding depth without disrupting the calm interior.

The fabric interacts with light and form, enhancing the shape of the furniture while maintaining visual restraint. Made from 100% wool, it combines a soft, tactile feel with the durability needed for high-use environments where comfort and performance go hand in hand.

Tuned for privacy

In more secluded areas, the experience becomes more enclosed and intimate.

Sofas upholstered in Cyber introduce a softer expression. With its multi-coloured construction and matte, suede-like surface, the fabric adds visual depth while maintaining a warm and understated feel.

Rather than reflecting light, Cyber absorbs it, reinforcing the sense of calm and enclosure. Its layered colour blends bring subtle variation to the space, supporting a relaxed atmosphere.
