vitAcoustic Modular Light Baffle System
Slender on the outside, strong on the inside – this principle also guides the new design of the modular system from Vital-Office. The system includes ceiling baffles, wall absorbers and freestanding partitions, and stands out for its versatility and high sound absorption.
With an overall thickness of 81 mm and an absorption density of 9 kg/m², the vitAcoustic system provides high absorption across a wide range of applications and offers broadband sound absorption depending on its position on the wall or ceiling.
Lighting integration is flexible: light sources can be installed at the top and bottom, or on the left and right when mounted vertically on a wall. Various lighting options are available:
- Linear lighting or glare-free, standards-compliant task downlights provide even illumination across the entire workstation.
- The lighting can be controlled individually for each workstation, using Dali, Casambi or other common systems.
- Color options include 3000K, 4000K or RGB for linear lighting.
This carefully considered design combines aesthetics and functionality, offering flexible lighting and acoustic solutions for modern work environments.

Highly Efficient Low-Frequency Broadband Absorbers as Tambour Door Cabinets
Our patented acoustic solution offers sound absorption class A broadband absorption, with particular effectiveness at low speech frequencies. These environmentally friendly acoustic felt panels, made from recycled PET bottles, are integrated into colorful designer tambour doors.
The cabinet depth and contents enable excellent absorption values, particularly at low speech frequencies from 125 to 250 Hz. These frequencies are crucial to absorbing loud, low-pitched vowels just as effectively as quiet, higher-frequency consonants. Good room acoustics require absorption of these low speech frequencies.
Combining an acoustic sideboard with a height-adjustable, sustainable bamboo desk from Vital-Office provides everything needed for an efficient workstation, both in the office and at home:
- Height-adjustable desk: Enables ergonomic working.
- Workstation storage: Provides practical storage space.
- Low-frequency broadband sound absorption: Ensures optimal room acoustics.
