Werft 1919
Kressbronn / Germany

With the reconstruction of the Bodan dockyard the municipality of Kressbronn has realised its own lake stage, a stage for the region, at Lake Constance, Germany. In the future, the enjoyment of art, culture and culinary delights will be the main focus of this cultural monument. The "Werft1919" is a place to meet, to exchange ideas and to experience the interplay of nature and architecture. The unusual stage situation required special attention with regard to the acoustic design: the single-layer sound-absorbing and multi-layer sound-insulating scurtains made of SATIN CS enable flexible room acoustics and at the same time limit the spread of sound across the expanse of the lake. Furthermore, acoustic curtains made of ABSORBER CS by Gerriets serve as a vestibule in the restaurant.

Project data

  • TRUMPF 95 FRICTION-DRIVE track system
  • Curtains made of the acoustic fabric ABSORBER CS in black and the drapery fabric SATIN CS in perl white
  • Stage curtains: 23 m, acoustic curtains: 10 m, hight: 4.33 m each

Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection
Paris / France

The special characteristic in the work of star architect © Tadao Ando Architect & Associates (TAAA) lies in the masterly combination of functionality with a sublime, architectural design vocabulary. As part of the redevelopment of the Bourse de Commerce in Paris - from a commercial centre into an art centre, the Pinault Collection - the materials used were chosen with care. For the auditorium, the choice fell on acoustic curtains made of the object fabric GERRA CS, the sound-reflecting fabric LUNAR DUO as well as the sound-absorbing ABSORBER CS by Gerriets for an acoustically balanced room climate. The opening of the Pinault Collection is planned for 2021.



Project data

13 partially fixed acoustic curtains for the auditorium of the Bourse de Commerce - Pinault Collection with installation on TRUMPF 95 track systems:

  • Acoustic curtains with outer layers of GERRA CS Drapery Fabric in anthracite grey; various backs made of LUNAR DUO black/white sound-reflecting fabric and ABSORBER CS sound-absorbing fabric in black.
