Beautiful Artwork Combined Excellent Acoustics
Paytrail recently opened a new office in Tampere. When paired with Rockfon Canva wall panels, the office interior is beautiful and practical.
Nuan's Design Transformation at Paytrail's Tampere Office
Nuan, the design agency responsible for Paytrail's Jyväskylä headquarters, assumed control over the interior design of the company's Tampere office. According to Sanna Laukanaho, Nuan's interior architect, their objective was to create workspaces that harmonised with Paytrail's brand, nurtured employee well-being, and catered to diverse needs. She emphasised, "We worked closely with Paytrail to ensure that the whole space reflected the company's working culture while also providing a variety of working moods."
Paytrail's office is one of the first locations in Finland to use the new Rockfon Canva acoustic solution. This innovative range includes wall panels, floor screens, and hanging dividers, designed to craft flexible and inviting spaces. Laukanaho, who also contributed bespoke graphic designs, highlighted the customisation options, stating, "In the design process, it was critical to keep in mind that things are more than simply beautiful; they also have a practical purpose. For example, we wanted spaces that would boost and encourage social interaction as well as places for retreat and relaxation. Rockfon Canva support this vision."
To optimise room acoustics, Rockfon Color-All® tiles and Rockfon Eclipse® islands in various colours were strategically suspended, combining functionality with aesthetics.

Not only are Rockfon Canva acoustic panels a beautiful addition to any room, but they're also as easy to install as hanging a piece of wall art.
"Installing Rockfon Canva was very fast. Acoustic wall panels usually require a framing system around them which requires drilling, screwing and fixing. However, installing Canva was like installing a regular picture on the wall," says Matti Paananen from Celtic-Rakennus Oy, who was responsible for the installation.
The acoustic panels were installed when the project was nearing completion when Paytrail was physically moving in it's furniture.
"Because Canvas panels are valuable and sensitive, we recommend that you install them as close to the moving-in date as possible. The only dust caused by the installation process is from the drill hole in the plaster or concrete."
Office employees praise the appearance of the acoustic panels
According to Jenni Penna, Paytrail's Market Place Team Lead, theirs is an open office where Rockfon acoustic solutions are installed in every corner. An open office environment requires good acoustics to function properly.
"The office workers have complimented the look of our acoustic panels. The illustrations are really eye-catching, but they don't distract from the work at all. Rockfon Canva panels fit in seamlessly with their surroundings, even though they are meant for absorbing sound."
Penna also notes that if their other offices needed a new acoustic solution, these wall panels would certainly be suitable:
"I have no doubt that a similar solution could be applied to our office in Jyväskylä, for example. It's always more interesting when you get unique elements on the wall and not just single-colored panels."
