Ripple acoustic fabric by Emma Harling x WAF Audio, 2025
WAF Audio is pleased to collaborate with Swedish born, New York-based textile designer, Emma Harling, on their new acoustic fabric series, Ripple. Ripple is a pattern with irregular, meandering lines, mimicking observations from nature — a textile that’s technically precise, but visually transportive.
Ripple is available now as an optional upgrade for WAF Audio’s SP-01 speaker system, and was showcased during NYCxDESIGN at Hundo, an exhibition at IRL Gallery featuring work by Emily Thurman from May15-21st in NYC.
Created in two distinctive colorways, Ripple is acoustically transparent and designed to integrate seamlessly into WAF Audio’s lineup — specifically as a custom grill panel covering for the SP-01 speaker. The panel attaches magnetically, offering flexibility to switch between exposed drivers and textile-clad style, depending on the mood or setting.
