Forja Restaurant

The project developed for Forja Restaurant in Manises, Valencia, in 2026, represents an intervention where interior design, brand identity, and acoustic comfort come together to create a complete gastronomic experience. In contemporary restaurant spaces, acoustics have become an essential element to ensure customer well-being, improve communication, and enhance the overall perception of quality within the establishment.

For this project, Ideatec Advanced Acoustic Solutions incorporated a solution based on custom-designed double PET panels, an acoustic system conceived to combine high technical performance with extensive creative freedom in interior design. This solution improved the restaurant’s acoustic performance by reducing reverberation and creating a more comfortable atmosphere without compromising the visual character of the space.

Restaurants are particularly demanding environments from an acoustic perspective due to the combination of simultaneous conversations, constant movement of people, and the presence of reflective materials such as stone, ceramic, glass, or metal. These elements, common in contemporary hospitality projects, can generate excessive background noise that negatively affects the customer experience. Therefore, incorporating acoustic treatment solutions is essential to achieve more balanced and pleasant environments.

The application of double PET panels allowed the project to directly improve sound absorption, reducing acoustic reflections and enhancing speech intelligibility. Thanks to their PET composition, these panels provide excellent acoustic performance while also offering a sustainable solution, as they are manufactured from recycled materials.

One of the most remarkable aspects of this intervention is the integration of custom-designed acoustic panels, demonstrating how functionality and aesthetics can work together. Acoustic elements are no longer perceived as purely technical solutions but become an active part of the interior design concept, adding texture, personality, and a distinctive character to the restaurant.

The Forja Restaurant project reflects the current evolution of the hospitality sector towards spaces where every sense contributes to the user experience. Lighting, materials, spatial distribution, and acoustics work together to create a warmer, more comfortable, and memorable atmosphere.

Located in Manises (Valencia, Spain), this project highlights Ideatec’s ability to develop customized acoustic solutions for hospitality environments, adapting to the functional and aesthetic requirements of each intervention. The integration of custom double PET panels transforms acoustic conditioning into an architectural element capable of improving comfort, sustainability, and the visual identity of the space.

With this project, Ideatec Advanced Acoustic Solutions strengthens its expertise in restaurant and hospitality projects, delivering innovative solutions where technology, design, and acoustic well-being come together to create higher-quality contemporary spaces.
