Tucked away in the heart of Soho, Carbone London is the kind of restaurant that doesn’t just serve food, it serves atmosphere. Inspired by mid-century Italian-American dining, the venue oozes glamour and drama from every detail. But as any designer knows, creating the right ambience isn’t just about lighting and interiors, it’s about how a space sounds.
That’s where we came in.
JBH Acoustics was proud to be involved in the acoustic treatment of Carbone’s London outpost, delivering discreet, high-performance sound solutions that complement the venue’s bold design and luxury finish. Working closely with the wider project team, our role focused on ensuring the acoustic environment matched the immersive experience Carbone is known for.
The Challenge
With rich materials, hard surfaces, and lively dining areas, the potential for excessive reverberation and noise build-up was high. Carbone needed a solution that would preserve the energy of the space while ensuring clarity of conversation and overall comfort for guests.
The Solution
We supplied and installed a selection of fabric-wrapped acoustic panels—tailored precisely to fit within the design aesthetic. These solutions were chosen not only for their technical performance, but for their ability to integrate seamlessly into a high-end interior scheme.
Whether it’s absorbing background clatter during peak service hours or enhancing acoustic privacy between tables, our treatments help shape the experience without ever being seen.
Why Acoustics Matter
Luxury venues like Carbone rely on more than just food and service. The acoustics are part of the brand. A perfectly composed plate can be let down by a space that’s too noisy to talk in.
At JBH Acoustics, we understand that balance and we’re proud to deliver solutions that perform under pressure, without compromising on style.
