About the brand

Architectural acoustics that connect sound, space and design.

Oido is an Austrian brand specialising in design-led acoustic solutions for interiors. It sees acoustics not merely as a technical means of reducing noise, but as an important part of how a space feels, how people feel within it and how they use it. Oido’s philosophy is based on the belief that sound, silence and vibrations must be balanced, just like the other elements of an interior. It therefore designs acoustic solutions that integrate naturally into the architecture while improving speech intelligibility, comfort and the overall atmosphere of a space.

Acoustics as part of architecture

Oido considers room acoustics from the very start of the interior design process. Rather than masking acoustic problems after the fact, it creates elements that can become a natural part of walls, ceilings, workstations and spatial layouts.


Acoustic materials help reduce reverberation, dampen background noise and improve speech intelligibility. This is particularly important in open-plan offices, meeting spaces and other interiors with a large number of hard surfaces, such as glass, concrete or metal.


Aesthetics are equally important to Oido. An acoustic element need not be an intrusive technical addition to an interior – it can be an integral part of the architectural concept.

Parametric and bespoke design

One of the most interesting areas of Oido’s portfolio is its parametric acoustic solutions.


Algorithmic design makes it possible to create organic waves, geometric transitions and rhythmic structures that respond to the specific architecture of a space. This transforms an acoustic solution from a standard panel into a distinctive architectural element.


Parametric systems can be used on walls, ceilings and as freestanding elements. Their shape, structure and arrangement can be adapted to the specific requirements of a project.


Alongside its standard portfolio, Oido also offers Custom solutions. This allows architects and interior designers to create bespoke acoustic elements tailored to the dimensions, geometry and visual concept of a particular interior.

Material and design

Oido’s acoustic products are based on thermally bonded non-woven polyester made from PET. The material has a soft, textile-like feel reminiscent of felt, yet is strong, lightweight and suitable for precision cutting and the creation of various surface textures.


Approximately 60% of the material comes from recycled PET bottles. The material absorbs sound and helps reduce reverberation and noise in a space. Products are available as standard in thicknesses of 12 and 24 mm and can be further customised with various cut-outs, patterns and surface textures.


The use of colour is also an important part of the system. Oido has created its own colour worlds, Coral Echoes, Desert Grounds, Forest Shades and Ocean Depths, which allow acoustic elements to blend naturally into different types of interiors.
