Meet our Founders
Sven Erni & Jeffrey Ibañez
Combining their deep expertise in corporate workspace design and architecture, founders Sven Erni and Jeffrey Ibañez established Impact Acoustic in 2019 to challenge the status quo of the building industry. They share the conviction that exceptional design and ecological responsibility must go hand in hand, recognising an urgent need to rethink not just products but entire life cycles.
Sustainability is not an added feature but the creative blueprint for every decision. Driven by a radical design philosophy, they ensure that true circularity shapes the development process. By elevating discarded resources into premium acoustic systems, they aim to redefine what is desirable and provide the architectural community with a bold, functional template for the future.
A Future Without PET
Our Vision
To eliminate waste and unwanted noise from the built environment by creating circular acoustic systems designed for every life cycle to come. We envision a future where acoustic materials are no longer disposable products, but valuable resources that remain in continuous use. A future where design, performance and true circularity work together to create healthier, more inspiring spaces for people and the planet.
Our Mission
We develop circular systems that combine Swiss Engineered material innovation, digital manufacturing and exceptional service. Our systems are designed to be installed, disassembled and returned. Through advanced materials, Computational Design, automated processes and hospitality-level project support, we create better outcomes throughout the entire life cycle of a building.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to prove that high-performance design, exceptional service and true circularity can work together to create a better future. We challenge the traditional building industry by replacing wasteful linear systems with circular solutions designed for long-term value, transparency and responsible stewardship of resources.
From visionary to circular reality.
Swiss Engineering
Before a system is specified, it must be proven. We connect design intent with real material behaviour through physical mock-ups and fabrication trials. We iterate and refine until every detail, fixing principle and acoustic parameter is fully resolved, simplifying installation, reducing waste and minimising project risk.
Computational Design
Bespoke design requires intelligent systems. By integrating parametric algorithms, automated documentation and smarter workflows, we translate complex geometric and acoustic requirements into manufacturable, scalable solutions. This reduces complexity, accelerates projects and makes ambitious architecture precise and buildable.
Material Innovation
We challenge the boundaries of what acoustic materials can be. From upcycling post-consumer resources to developing next-generation bio-circular compounds, we engineer surfaces that perform reliably today and can return to a material cycle tomorrow.
Circularity by Design
We design for the end right from the beginning. Our acoustic systems are engineered to be installed, disassembled and returned. By keeping valuable resources in continuous use, we replace wasteful linear models with circular solutions designed for long-term value.
