Acoustic panels for a peaceful environment at the Nuvola Lavazza company restaurant

Ligno Acoustique light acoustic panels provide a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere during lunch. Designed in real wood, they not only allow precise design of soundproofing separation surfaces, but also adapt to the needs of gastronomy looking for a calm environment. Finally, they meet great design requirements.

The restaurant stands out as the new urban hot spot

This new restaurant, designed by rgastudio (interior design) and CZA Cino Zucchi Architetti (architecture), offers a capacity of 280 covers. It occupies the first two floors of the “La Centrale” building and the former Enel power plant, which has been transformed into the management center of the Lavazza company. Located in the Aurora district of Turin, the “Nuvola Lavazza” (literally Nuage Lavazza) is currently emerging as the new urban hot spot.

The new canteen is a dining area with a pleasant and clear design with an innovative concept. Employees can take their lunch break together with friends or family members. Everyone is welcome in the cloud, even the residents or students of the neighboring IAAD institute. A new experience in collective catering.

From the hall on the ground floor, visitors reach the seating areas and the self-service islands on the first floor. From there, they can access more private and quieter spaces located one floor higher.

Good interior acoustics spread over two floors

The clear layout of the interior spaces retains the industrial character of the building, but nevertheless provides a pleasant and family atmosphere thanks to the Ligno Acoustic light acoustic panels placed on the ceiling.

The noise from the restaurant on two floors is reduced to a pleasant level. Thanks to the flexible wood fiber acoustic absorbers integrated into the panels, the absorption effect is effective over a wide frequency band. The different structures tested reach an absorption coefficient αW of up to 0.90, widely distributed over the relevant frequency band.

Lignotrend acoustic panels labeled by natureplus

The real wood surfaces are in white fir without knots, whose texture is reflected through the whitish lacquer. Combined with sober furniture, they form a calm setting (including in design) for relaxed breaks. Distinguished by the natureplus label, Lignotrend acoustic panels guarantee the highest quality of green building. The product is part of the overall LEED certified transformation philosophy, which aims to create ecological buildings that respect people and the environment.
