We discovered our latest guest for The Quiet Mark Podcast via an interesting article in The Guardian entitled “Is Noise of London’s Restaurants Just Part of the Charm?”. The piece analysed a survey which found the capital’s eateries to be the loudest in Europe and second only, globally, to San Francisco.
Noise is a practical concern, particularly in-open plan kitchen living spaces. As demand for quiet appliances continues to grow Kbbreview writer, Simon King, looks at why designers must consider the acoustics of a room when it comes to specifying products and how manufacturers are responding to the challenge.
Quiet Mark collaborated with Oliver Heath Design for this piece by George Dean for a Designerati series featuring designers, architects, and senior professionals talking about future-proof design.
Quiet Mark said that more manufacturers are starting to prioritise sound-driven design, placing its importance up there alongside the visual look and performance of the product.
Quiet Mark has enjoyed Enki magazine since meeting Editor Eleanor Rice at Planted last year, when our CEO/ Founder, Poppy Szkiler, spoke on the Toxic Cities panel, moderated by Oliver Heath of Oliver Heath Design. So we are pleased to see Enki including our images in their beautiful September and October issues.
