WVH’s ALMA, a system of acoustical wall panels created in collaboration with designer Alfonso Verduzco, The nine-part series debuts with three designs: Sagrado, Sendero, and Reflejo (pictured).
Sagrado (“sacred”) pairs the ancient Shou Sugi Ban (charred wood) technique on solid ash wood with solid copper inserts, while Sendero (“pathway”) integrates natural lava stone into the foundational structure of black ash wood. Reflejo (“reflection”) combines gray maple veneer with inlays of obsidian. All three panel systems function as structural design features rather than a superficial applied finish.
