At FG Library & Learning, we specialise in library design and fit. It’s notorious that libraries are quiet spaces, allowing for reading, concentration and learning. In addition to ensuring visitors adhere to these expectations, you can also lower noise levels using various library acoustic solutions.
We design and fit libraries regularly so know the importance of library acoustic solutions, the impact they can have on your space and how the design can level up your library space. From understanding the importance of library acoustic solutions, through Frem Group, we have partnered with Caimi by Frem Group, specialising in different acoustic solutions and giving our clients a range of options for their library, available to us exclusively in the UK.
About Caimi Brevetti
Established in 1949, Caimi Brevetti S.p.A. is one of the leading manufacturers of design orientated furniture and accessories for office and contract furniture market. Their pieces focus on acoustics and reducing noise level within libraries and other environments.
The philosophy underlying the activities of Caimi Brevetti has always been based on a strong vocation for research, experimentation and innovation and derives from the wealth of technical and technological experience acquired since its foundation over sixty-five years ago: hundreds of patented products bear witness to the attention paid to original designs and novel projects.
Caimi Brevetti’s products are easily recognisable; their design, technical and linear yet at the same time essential but refined, conveys the concept of industrial design, combining form and function with a view to mass production based on features such as modularity, versatility, flexibility and a wise choice of materials. Caimi Brevetti’s experimentation of new materials and new industrial technologies with an eye turned not only toward improved productivity but also obtaining an ever-minor impact on the environment as a result of workings producing less pollution and using recycled and recyclable materials. In this context, the patented acoustic panel systems and the Snowsound patented technologies are joined to synthesise design and improve technical and functional performance, all conceived with the utmost respect for the environment. The multiplicity of initiatives of Caimi Brevetti in the fields of design and culture has carried it to the exposition of its products at exhibitions and in museums and led it to take a leading position, receiving major awards, including two ADI Premio Compasso d’Oro and the DesignEuropa Awards by EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office).
The Importance of Good Acoustics in Libraries
There are several reasons why good acoustics are important for libraries. This mostly comes down to what the library is being used for.
Concentration – you need to create an environment where your library users can concentrate. The best way to do this is to invest in some proven acoustic solutions to absorb some of the general noise that is created within a library.
Studying and Learning – Acoustic solutions can promote study and learning which is another activity that libraries are known as being used for. Even things like foot steps can be minimised with the solutions we have available – perfect if your library has a hard floor.
Privacy – within libraries there may be meetings or conversations taking place that need to remain confidential. Good acoustic solutions can ensure that sound travels a minimal distance and other library users do not overhear private information.
Bonus: Aesthetically Pleasing – of course, being functional to support your library users is the most important aspect of your library acoustic solutions. However, being aesthetically pleasing is something we can also incorporate when working with our clients. Whether it’s to fit the colour scheme or overall theming of your library, we can help source a solution that is in keeping with your existing interior, so your library acoustic solutions are not only functional but also enhance your space for your users.
