Portuguese acoustics specialist Artnovion has added the Artnovion Avalon K to its architectural surface range, a parametric wall panel designed to work as acoustic treatment and a decorative feature at once. Where most sound-absorbing panels are built to disappear, the Artnovion Avalon K is meant to be seen: a continuous wood-and-PET surface whose relief pattern shifts with the viewing angle, giving large walls a distinctive three-dimensional identity while quietly controlling reverberation behind the scenes. It is the latest addition to a growing family of architectural surfaces from the Portuguese manufacturer, aimed at projects where the acoustic treatment itself is meant to carry the room’s design language.
Artnovion Avalon K: Acoustics as Architecture
Avalon K is designed first as an architectural surface, then as an acoustic solution. Its parametric geometry flows continuously across the wall, so multiple panels combine into one uninterrupted pattern rather than a grid of visible tiles. Because the relief changes appearance depending on where a viewer stands, Artnovion says the panel introduces a strong sense of movement and depth to interiors that would otherwise read as flat. The concept targets large-scale wall coverage in hospitality lobbies, boutique retail, home cinemas and premium living rooms, spaces where the acoustic treatment is meant to be part of the design story rather than hidden behind fabric or paint.
Absorption Meets Diffusion
Behind the sculpted surface, Artnovion Avalon K relies on a hybrid construction that pairs a high-density PET acoustic core and calibrated-cell acoustic foam with a natural wood veneer or lacquered facing. That combination lets the panel act as both an absorber and a diffuser at once, reducing reverberation time while spreading reflected sound more evenly across a room instead of deadening it outright. Artnovion rates the panel’s absorption range from 630 Hz to 5,000 Hz, with an Acoustic Class D rating (αw 0.4) — figures that position Avalon K as a room-shaping architectural finish rather than a heavy-duty studio treatment, in line with its intended use in listening rooms, living spaces and large interiors rather than professional control rooms.
Materials and Finishes
Every Artnovion Avalon K panel shares the wood-and-recycled-PET construction used across Artnovion’s wider Avalon family, which also includes the Avalon Broad absorber-diffuser. Avalon K is offered in natural wood veneers, lacquered HMDF finishes and acoustic suede fabric, with a hidden, integrated fixing system that keeps the continuous surface free of visible hardware. That range of options lets architects and integrators match the panel to a project’s material palette rather than settling for one fixed look, from warm birch and black birch veneers to matte lacquer finishes in white, black, olive green or custom RAL colours — the same modular approach that has made Artnovion a regular fixture in high-end home cinema and listening-room builds.
Pricing and availability
As with the rest of Artnovion’s architectural acoustics catalogue, the Artnovion Avalon K is a project-specified product: pricing depends on wall area, chosen finish and fire-rating requirements, and is quoted per configuration through Artnovion’s dealer network or directly via sales@artnovion.com. Architects, integrators and homeowners can request a configuration and quote through Artnovion’s website.
