With hundreds of patterns and hues available in its product library, Lim felt that Arova laminates were the perfect way to extend the aesthetic appeal of these sound-dampening screens. Thus, he launched Akustra, a sister acoustic-panel brand to Arova laminates, tapping on the synergies between the two labels.
