When people gather together organically, they naturally cluster in ways that allow everyone to hear and to be heard.

The arrangement a group of people is forced into around a conference table (nodes around a long, narrow rectangle) is at acoustic odds with the goal of the conference table: facilitating communication for the people assembled at it.

This conference table reflector enhances the sound of speech in the environments these tables are placed, and provides an alternative to ceiling absorption. It is especially effective in large spaces and those in which wall treatment is desirable. This reflector of 3-form Chroma resin has a cylindrical shape to prevent energy buildup, a thickness and density to reflect the human voice, and a fine-scale pattern to provide a modicum of diffusion at high frequencies.
