Ypsilon Connect by Pedrali: Elegant Self-Supporting Sound Screen

The Ypsilon Connect — Sound Screening Meets Italian Design

Acoustic screens are a necessary response to the open-plan office — but most of them look exactly like what they are: functional additions that weren't part of the original design intent. The Ypsilon Connect by Pedrali is the exception. It's a screen that was designed to be there, not added afterward.

What Makes Ypsilon Connect Different

The Ypsilon Connect is a self-supporting, freestanding sound screen built on the same design platform as the Ypsilon table range. Its distinctive Y-base provides stability without a heavy footprint, and the screen panel itself is available in a range of acoustic fabric options that coordinate with Pedrali's broader upholstery palette.

The 'self-supporting' aspect is significant. Most freestanding acoustic screens require a base plate or feet that extend across the floor and create trip hazards or circulation barriers. The Ypsilon Connect's Y-base keeps the footprint tight while providing genuine stability — it can be positioned almost anywhere without compromising the flow of the space.

How It Works

The screen panel is constructed with an acoustic core — a dense, sound-absorbing material sandwiched between the structural frame and the fabric facing — that significantly reduces speech frequencies passing through. Positioned between workstations or across a collaborative table, it creates acoustic separation that makes conversation feel more private without creating the visual separation that makes an open plan feel enclosed.

The Ypsilon Connect is available through Bishop Interiors for commercial projects across New Zealand. Contact us to discuss specification.
