• BOW is a system of modular sound-absorbing elements, inspired by the shapes of the hulls of ships. The bow is the forward part of the hull of a ship or boat, the point that is usually most forward when the vessel is underway.

    The two elements, made of 100% polyester with patented Snowsound technology, take a three-dimensional configuration that generates an air gap between the panel and the wall that increases the acoustic performance significantly, serving as a sound trap.

    The templates, one “hourglass” and one “shield,” are modular, complementary and inter-engaging (meaning they fit into one another) and can generate mixed compositions or textures obtained by combining the same module of panels. The elements can be easily combined to create countless compositions, leaving the designer with maximum creativity and freedom of expression.
