Tempo, designed for Loftwall

KEM STUDIO designed Tempo for Loftwall, the manufacturer of colorful and flexible privacy solutions that bring spaces to life. KEM STUDIO has also designed Loftwall’s Hide and Parallel.

Before Tempo, acoustic ceiling systems and wall systems had been overly complex to install, purchase, and there has never been one system that works on the ceiling and wall. Tempo is the first baffle system that uses the same modules for the ceiling and wall. With twelve different modules offered in six colors, the combinations are almost endless, allowing each designer to simply create unique installations depending on the style of the space and its acoustic requirements.

Tempo and Parallel will be shown at NeoCon, in Chicago from October 4-6, in Loftwall’s showroom, 1123A.
