MissionAcoustic Manifesto
What began seven years ago as a digital planning tool has evolved into Mission Acoustic – a platform that connects architects and interior designers with sustainable, design-oriented acoustic solutions from more than 35 renowned brands. On the occasion of the 20th edition of VIENNA DESIGN WEEK, this world will become tangible for the first time: An exhibition format at the intersection of design, room acoustics, science, and technology not only brings the platform to life as a multi-part experience but also showcases it through a seven-meter-long acoustic tunnel.
This immersive journey through sound, materials, and contemporary acoustic design showcases experimental prototypes developed in collaboration with the University of Applied Arts Vienna and through the joint efforts of students, designers, and leading acoustic brands acunic, CEWE, Oido, PREFORM, and Rockfon, alongside an unconventional main installation that brings together products, materials, mounting systems, reference projects, and new application possibilities.
Furthermore, the Listening Room illustrates acoustic design possibilities through its sophisticated interior. Showcases featuring additional sound objects by emerging designers, as well as mood boards and planning options from the Mission Acoustic catalog, round out the exhibition and offer architects practical solutions.
The scenography was developed by Sophie Luger.
EXPERIENCING ACOUSTICS
What makes good acoustics? Why is acoustic quality so vital for spaces? MissionAcoustic Manifesto invites architects, interior designers, designers, and industry professionals to get to know the MissionAcoustic platform, discover its partner manufacturers, and explore the multifaceted possibilities of modern acoustics.
A versatile program featuring guided tours, listening sessions, workshops, and expert insights offers diverse perspectives on the topic. The exhibition is further enriched by an extensive discourse program with speakers including Vanessa Nica (Head of B2B Central Europe, Louis Poulsen), Pascal van Dort (Rockfon, SONATA Horizon), David Dorolti (MissionAcoustic), Sophie Luger (Architect, Scenographer of MissionAcoustic Manifesto), Gabriel Roland (VIENNA DESIGN WEEK), and additional guest speakers.
PROTOTYPES FOR TOMORROW'S ACOUSTICS
The main feature of the MissionAcoustic Manifesto exhibition showcases experimental prototypes developed in collaboration with the University of Applied Arts Vienna. These works emerged through an active synergy between students, designers, and leading acoustic brands, including acunic, CEWE, Oido, PREFORM, and Rockfon.
MEET, LISTEN, CONNECT
If you would like to dive deeper and exchange ideas after visiting the exhibition, you are warmly invited to the MANIFESTO BAR. Enjoying drinks in a refined acoustic atmosphere, it serves as the central hub for networking, engaging conversations, and meaningful connections.
