Simple Baffle+ : Six Iconic Baffles That Help You Break Down Sound Waves

Kirei
September 30 2021

We make room acoustics fun and simple. With Kirei’s Simple Baffle+, we developed an acoustic product that allows you to easily customize your clients’ spaces while keeping the environment and occupant health in mind. Through dynamic, iconic shapes and the most extensive recycled PET color palette on the market, these baffles equip designers with the tools they need to take on the harsh, echoey ceilings of the world.

We call the ceiling to be the “Fifth Wall”. It deserves the same attention and dynamic design possibilities as any other wall in a space. Wave goodbye to unsightly pipes and bland drop ceilings, the Simple Baffle+ provides occupants the acoustic comfort and safety they need while delivering a unique visual impact and fun design experience. Change the ceiling height, hide building mechanicals, and infuse biophilic-inspired color all while capturing those unsettling rogue sound waves.






Featuring six iconic new shape variants (Lipstick, Capsule, Cutout, Pointed, Spline, Void) and available in 33 solid colorways, the Simple Baffle+ turns any ceiling into a visual landscape. Simple Baffle+ tackles sound waves from above, making it an ideal solution for large school auditoriums, echoey office entryways, and noisy restaurant dining areas.

A New Look for a Modern Classic

As an expansion of the existing Simple Baffle, one of our most popular products, Simple Baffle+ allows for easy specification of unique profiles while delivering inspiration for custom ideas. Customization ideas include mixing and matching baffle profiles and colors, flipping and rotating shapes, abutting baffles, and creating any custom profile you can dream of.

Behind the Design

The Simple Baffle originated with its modern rectangular design featuring crisp 90 degree corners. With the addition of our six newly launched profiles, architects and designers are empowered to get even more creative with personalized spaces for their clients. While we have always offered the ability to customize our Simple Baffle, the Simple Baffle+ expansion provides designers with all the tools needed to quickly and easily specify unique design elements for impactful, dynamic spaces.
