Malmö Live was opened in May 2015 and is already one of Sweden’s premier live music venues. Malmö Live offers a wide range of music and cultural events with world class bookings as well as local artists. Outstanding concert hall acoustics and the latest technology makes Malmö Live a premier venue for everything.
The Malmö Live project is one of Gustafs most prestigious projects ever. We have produced all wooden wall and ceiling claddings in the concert hall. The wall and ceiling panels consist of bespoke acoustic panels – boxes called mondrian elements. Each box are produced to affect the reverberation time in the concert hall. The wooden panels are manufactured in oak veneer combined with brass panels.
The concert hall features variable world class acoustics with a 1.5 to 2.1 second delay and state of the art technology. The architects Schmidt Hammer Lassen and acousticians Akustikon are the people behind the design and acoustic layout. We are proude to have worked together in this project and delivered and mounted both ceiling, wall cladding and special solutions to this the magnificent concert hall.
