Several recent projects demonstrate the many ways timber slat are being incorporated into modern design for both functionality and aesthetics. French provincial styling was achieved at popular French eatery Bistro Guillaume through the use of an integral seamless Au.diSlat ceiling solution with a high gloss finish. Not only did the timber create a provincial style ceiling, but it also provides the restaurant with acoustic performance to reduce noise to create a comfortable dining atmosphere for patrons to relax and enjoy. Similarly, Huntingdale Golf Club adopted the slatted Au.diSlat ceiling system in a stylistic spotted gum finish to complement the unique folded roofline design of the club house, bringing acoustic perfection to the dining and communal spaces.

It’s not only hospitality design which is embracing timber slats, with Au.diSlat recently specified for the revamped Simond’s Stadium, home to the Geelong Football Club, state-of-the-art Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre, and Trinity College’s cutting-edge precinct at the University of Melbourne. Mounted in a modular panel array and treated acoustically with our integrated acoustic backing, the Au.diSlat creates a distinctive, 3D effect that is suitable for both commercial and domestic projects.

“We believe that along with its acoustic qualities, Au.diSlat offers a unique ‘less is more’ design philosophy that demonstrates a design simplicity that the market is clearly looking for,” says Ben.

“Au.diSlat is easy to install, and is custom designed and manufactured to each specific project’s requirements exactly, another reason why we expect to see it continue as a top seller.”
