About Turf Design
Turf exists to fight the tyrannical disturbance of the open space echo. By combining stellar acoustic properties with designs that please the eyeballs, Turf creates systems people will appreciate long after the punch list is complete. Everything Turf does is designed to keep waste to a minimum. Their systems are made from up to 60% pre-consumer PET (polyester) plastic. They manufacture on-demand, which keeps inventory-associated waste low. And since Turf ships from the brand’s hometown of Chicago they reduce emissions, too. Turf’s mission is to address the distracting echo of open spaces by creating acoustic solutions that are both remarkably effective at turning down the noise and visually stunning to entertain the soul. Equally stunning is the speed of their response and the custom installation experience delivered. It’s custom answers without prohibitive costs, allowing designers’ and architects’ most dramatic visions to be realized.
