The ceiling is often the largest uninterrupted surface in a workplace. Whether designed using ceiling tiles, baffles, floating panels, layered systems, or open plenum designs, it naturally becomes central to the interior identity.
Beyond its role as a focal point, the office ceiling is central in addressing two critical aspects of office acoustics: speech intelligibility and comfort in open-plan areas, as well as speech privacy in meeting rooms. Such efforts are key considering that disturbances like nearby conversations and activities can be detrimental to employee focus, and more so in open-plan layouts where noise travels far, wide, and in all directions.
From a monolithic expression at the L'Oréal Group headquarters in Paris, France to acoustic baffles at WPP's large-scale Manchester campus, discover 18 office ceilings around the world completed using acoustic ceiling solutions.
L'Oréal Paris Headquarters
Paris, France
The monolithic ceiling solution Rockfon Mono Acoustic was selected to complete the office ceiling at L'Oréal's Seine 62 campus, designed by Studio Maison Sarah Lavoine, allowing for a modern seamless expression while providing a significant reduction in noise in common areas such as the working areas, restaurant, and lobby.

Eckes-Granini Office
Turku, Finland

Arco Architecture approached the meeting room acoustics by focusing on a distinct design influenced by the company’s brand illustrations. All across, the use of Rockfon Eclipse acoustic ceiling islands in the Circle shape resulted from their desire for organic-shaped elements.

Rockfon Mono Acoustic makes up the office ceiling in the large double-height reception of the London law firm Kingsley Napley. “Rockfon Mono Acoustic was chosen for its appearance, and its ability to mitigate the unwanted sound generated by hard surfaces.

Aker Tech House
Oslo, Norway
As part of their design vision for the Aker Tech House office building in Oslo, the architecture firm Wingårdhs were looking to create a space and accompanying office ceilings that would reflect the entrepreneurial tech energy of the tenants. Rockfon Color-all ceiling tiles in the Mercury develop a contemporary grey ceiling design. "The surface of Rockfon Color-all in Mercury is slightly metallic and shiny, and we think it gives a tech feel to the build. It's also darker and reflects less light than the standard white solution, which gives the ceiling a pleasant heaviness. It grants a certain calmness to the premises when compared to white ceilings", say Wingårdhs.

A combination of Rockfon Mono Acoustic and Rockfon Tropic ceiling solutions is installed across the offices, providing optimal noise control.
