The new office of Quooker in Zurich

Showroom visually and acoustically staged

Die moderne Kücheninsel in hellem Holz des Betriebs wird angenehm in Szene gesetzt durch integrierte Leuchten im Spülbereich und dezente Hängelampen.

Der Küchenbereich mit einer Reihe an angenehm beleuchteten Wasserhähnen ist gekleidet in helles LIGNO® Akustik light aus Weißtanne.

Die Akustikpaneele von Lignotrend aus heller Weißtanne in unregelmäßigem Nature-Profil sorgen für den nötigen akustisch wirksamen Ausgleich zu den sehr industriell belassenen, schallharten Böden und Decken des Gewerbebaus.

Die Akustikpaneele aus heller Weißtanne stellen in diesen Büroräume die warme Komponente zu dem industriell anmutenden Innendesign.

Das unregelmäßige Nature-Profil der Akustikpaneele im Quooker Office kreiert eine dynamische Raumatmosphäre, die Kreativität unterstützt.

Hinter der Theke im Pausenraum wurde die Wand mit LIGNO® Akustik light Paneelen von Lignotrend ausgestattet, was für eine angenehme und warme Raumatmosphäre mit optimaler Akustik sorgt.

Die warmen Echtholzoberflächen von Lignotrend schaffen einen reizvollen Kontrast zu dem eher nüchternen Ambiente im Inneren des Quookergebäudes.

In 1970, the Dutch company Quooker developed the first tap that provides flowing boiling water. The company is now present all over the world. One of the most recent locations was set up in Kloten, Switzerland. In order for sales talks and concentrated work to be possible side by side, an acoustically effective balance to the otherwise very industrial, reverberative floors and ceilings of the commercial building was mandatory. A task that acoustic panels made of bright silver fir take care of: they were used as the cladding of the two centrally located meeting rooms. The warm genuine wood surfaces create a charming contrast to the otherwise rather sober ambience.

Wood type

Various wood species are available for the visible layer. For quality reasons, individual wood species cannot be configured for all profiles; for technical reasons, surface treatments are excluded for some wood species.
Wood type
_WTL Silver fir knotless, patterned
Profile

The visible layer is profiled with joints. The code for profiling indicates in millimetres: Element width, strip width (rounded, from/to if applicable) and joint width (rounded) as well as a letter identification for variants, e.g. with chamfered strip edges or with additional height gradation.

Note: Some profiles indirectly cause exclusions for other configuration options.
Profile
_625-12n25-4 Slat profile "nature"
Structure

The face is subjected to a brushing _gb as standard, which produces a stronger or weaker structure depending on the type of wood and makes the surface less sensitive to scratches. Alternatively, a smooth sanding _gs can be carried out, or on request a bandsaw cut _grimitated.
Structure
_gb Brushed
Treatment

Depending on the type of wood, the optional application of a surface treatment is possible ex works. Individual colour finishes are always sampled for coordination. For elements in individual lengths, colour treatment is limited to max. 5 m length.
Treatment
_buv UV-protection stain
Room acoustics

If the soffit of the element is to have a good sound-absorbing effect, the penultimate layer is configured as absorber _a50g. Otherwise, this layer is configured as a solid wood layer _a0.
