Today’s open spaces demand a delicate balance: the need for natural light and visual connection while managing disruptive noise and maintaining privacy. Vescom’s acoustic sheers dramatically outperform traditional sheer curtains by absorbing five times more sound, making them ideal for balancing connection and separation in today’s open-plan contract environments – offices, conference rooms, hotel lobbies and multifunctional spaces.

Semi-transparent curtain fabric Lucy takes this technology a step further. Not only does the acoustic sheer (alpha w 0.55) have a much softer look and feel, but it also demonstrates our commitment to continually increasing the amount of recycled content in our material solutions. The key is in the composition. Lucy contains 60% recycled polyester FR bouclé yarn, whose textured grain breaks up the sheen typically associated with acoustic sheers. With the matte look of natural materials, the bouclé yarn adds tactility and homelike comfort, while its distinctive structure creates depth and visual interest when the fabric interacts with light.

Lucy comes in twelve neutral colours – warm tones that offer ultimate versatility for a wide range of interiors. Inspired by building materials associated with the home, such as wood, stone and glass, the palette includes various shades of white as well as a range of greys and soft beiges.

Lucy is visually identical from both sides – a great benefit when lining glass-walled interior rooms to create privacy and intimacy without blocking light. The curtain fabric can span from floor to ceiling thanks to its suitability for railroaded installation, and fulfil all the high-performance demands of the contract market: flame retardancy, colourfastness, functionality and durability.
