Unika Vaev was a small textile mill in Denmark that was the chief supplier of our earliest collections. The name – a source of endless questioning – means “unique weave” in Danish. The quality of Unika Vaev’s products was apparent from the beginning, evident by their durability and richness of texture and color.
In 1975, ICF purchased the name “Unika Vaev” for its newly organized fabric division and expanded its product range to reflect contemporary tastes and technologies. In so doing, Unika Vaev became an original source for contract textile needs.
As the contract furnishings industry grew throughout the 1980’s, so did Unika Vaev. Our collection embraced the newest ideas in textile weaving and coloration. Then, as now, the design industry welcomes Unika Vaev as the harbinger of fresh solutions to contract textile needs.
The Unika Vaev Acoustical Collection provides multiple functional and aesthetical acoustical ceiling and wall treatment solutions to effect sound blocking, diffusion and absorption in a wide range of interior spaces. Our purpose is to minimize noise distraction while maintaining the benefits that human interaction brings to work and social environments.

Intended for large and more intimate spaces alike, whether a single lamp or a grouping of several, the result is a visual and acoustical calm in a space
With Holly, Homstvedt and Klock have challenged preconceptions of how an acoustic lighting should look. The ambition with Holly was to create a beautiful object that also happens to be very functional. Holly acoustic lighting is sculptural and enigmatic, playing with the contrasts between light, reflection, and shadows. Holly awakens thoughts and associations that might soar to the Moon or the Sun. But the designers’ source of inspiration was rather more down to earth

Description Sahara is a wall panel system made of waste material from the production of wine corks in Portugal. Its shape is as simple and spontaneous as a sand formation carved by the wind.

Description Scala is a playful paraphrase on corrugated iron that simultaneously employs the functionality of the shape. ”The inspiration comes from the many houses in Iceland, where not only the roofs, but the facades too, are covered by corrugated iron. It gave birth to the idea of bringing it into the space”, explains award-winning designer Anya Sebton. The design of the sound-absorbent Scala is not only developed for visual reasons, but primarily to contribute to a softer soundscape.
