ECHOJAZZ Project of the Year 2025
ECHOJAZZ Project of the Year 2025
The winners are here!
Outstanding design that makes sustainability heard
The ECHOJAZZ Project of the Year Award 2025 recognises projects that combine acoustic performance, responsible material use and strong architectural expression.
This year’s winners show the diversity of sustainable acoustic design: alpine ceilings, branded showrooms, refined retail spaces, expressive work environments, acoustic lighting and custom solutions made from recycled PET.
Each project started with a specific need and a shared ambition to find the right solution. Together with architects, designers, partners and clients, we develop acoustic elements that listen to the space, respond to the concept and become part of the architecture.
Good design does more than look right. It works, lasts and takes responsibility.
Thank you
Good projects are built through collaboration.
Thank you to all architects, designers, partners, clients and project teams who brought these spaces to life. Your work shows how acoustic design can be precise, responsible and full of character.
At ECHOJAZZ , we believe the best solutions begin with listening: to the room, to the idea and to the people behind each project.
Congratulations to all winners of the ECHOJAZZ Project of the Year 2025.

Partner: Wider SA
Client: Brunschwig Group

Office Concrete BV Reuter
Location: Langgöns, Germany
Partner / Concept: Schumm und Rösch, Wiesbaden
Products used: EchoLED® Orbit / EchoOrbit®

A lighting project that brings together acoustic performance and atmospheric clarity. The circular forms create a calm visual centre while improving acoustic comfort — a technical solution that became a defining design element in the space.
Custom Solutions
Cerutti Partners
Location: Rothenburg, Switzerland
Partner: Röösli AG
Architecture / Concept: Cerutti Partner Architekten AG
Products used: EchoBoard® special solution
Colour: 263 Kermit
Photography: Marco Leu
For the architecture office of Cerutti Partners, EchoBoard® was used to create a custom acoustic installation inspired by the canopy of a tree. Subtle suspended lights appear like blossoms within the structure, creating a refined and imaginative ceiling feature.
The result is elegant, quiet and highly individual — a custom solution that shows how acoustic material can become architectural storytelling.
WSL & SLF
Location: Davos and Birmensdorf, Switzerland
Interior architecture / Partner: Bureau Hindermann
Products used: EchoBoard® custom acoustic planters
Colour: 244 Koala
For WSL and SLF, Bureau Hindermann created workspaces that connect research, nature and atmosphere. Custom acoustic planters and felt-based solutions support focus, zoning and a softer working environment.
The project translates forest, snow and landscape into the interior — not as decoration, but as a functional acoustic concept rooted in the identity of the institutions.

People’s Choice AWARD
FlatPackBrick
Location: Lausanne, Switzerland
Designer: Timothy Widmer
Institution: ECAL / University of Art and Design Lausanne
Products used: EchoBoard® special solution
Colours: 592 Pumpkin, 155 Aqua, 975 Olive
Developed in collaboration with Timothy Widmer during a project at ECAL, FlatPackBrick explores EchoBoard® as a modular room divider. Playful, functional and materially intelligent, the project shows how acoustic material can move beyond the panel and become a design system in its own right.
Chosen by the community, this project proves that sustainable acoustic design can be experimental, accessible and full of character.
