Birsel + Seck

Based in New York, Birsel + Seck crafts collaborative workspaces, outdoor pavilions, and interior surface collections defined by high-contrast structural joinery, light-filtering perforated screens, and subtle tile geometries that transform under grazing light. This work serves as a precise precedent when detailing semi-transparent visual dividers for flexible spaces, specifying vibrant joinery accents within timber structures, or integrating tactile wall surfacing designed for directional illumination.

Interior lounge space featuring a patterned grey felt hanging screen, white curved sofa with a dog sitting on it, and rust-colored carpet by Birsel + Seck.

Ayse Birsel Collection

An interior lounge precedent demonstrating the use of a patterned acoustic felt screen to visually and acoustically zone an open office or reception area.

What we like about this project
The hanging screen's intricate geometric perforation allows light to filter through while maintaining a distinct visual barrier.

Geometry
An open office or reception lounge bounded by a suspended acoustic screen divider, dividing the foreground soft seating arrangement from the corridor background.
Spatial scale
Human-scaled lounge setting with standard furniture proportions and a full-height hanging screen.
Lighting
Direct sunlight cuts across the sofa from an upper source, contrasting with diffuse ambient ceiling downlights in the corridor.
Atmosphere
Calm, tactile, and quiet workplace atmosphere enhanced by soft acoustic materials and warm earth tones.
Environmental context
Interior corporate or creative office space with open ceiling baffles and a long corridor.
Spatial experience
A semi-private breakout area framed by soft textures and acoustic filtering elements.
Composition rhythm
The interlocking circular pattern of the hanging screen creates a dense, repeating geometric grid that contrasts with the fluid curves of the sofa.
