The VAC Foundation creates a social experience revolving around visual arts, performing arts, music, as well as science and sustainability.
For this very special project, carried out by the prestigious architectural firm of Renzo Piano Building Works and where steel is clearly the main element, Frapont was in charge of the design and manufacturing of the aluminium acoustic panels, for the walls and ceilings of the common areas.
Those acoustic panels, a sandwich of perforated aluminium sheet, honeycomb core and steel frame are the result of a totally bespoke process, driven by innovating solutions from our technical and production team who had the task to design the panels in accordance with the architect’s demands, find a way to microperforate and paint the aluminium sheets in compliance with the acoustical specifications, perform acoustic and fire tests, but also design and dimension the custom support structure.
A challenging project, carried out with success, positioning once again Frapont as a leader in the fit-out sector for singular projects, capable of assisting its clients in the development of custom solutions and providing technical support for works linked with metal and materials other than timber.
