The integration of acoustic comfort in the design of restaurants and leisure spaces has gone from being an added value to becoming a structural element of new architectural projects. The Alicante-based company IDEATEC stands out in this transformation, specialising in customised acoustic solutions for environments that require high sound quality without compromising aesthetics.
Founded more than 35 years ago in Novelda by José Tárraga, IDEATEC has worked on international projects ranging from the National Theatre in Peru and the School of Music in Brazil to the National Library in Warsaw and the Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi. In Spain, its acoustic solutions have been integrated into spaces such as chef Jordi Cruz’s ANGLE restaurant, NORA Bcn, Lixa Coffee Shop, the New York Burger restaurant in Madrid and the Maisons du Monde space at Casa Decor 2025.
The rise of sensory design has reinforced the importance of acoustic comfort in the Hotel, Restaurant and Catering (HORECA) sector. IDEATEC responds to this demand with panels such as IDEATEC FABRIC, made with special fabrics and absorbent materials that reduce reverberation and improve the acoustic experience in rooms and dining rooms.
95% of the company’s production is customised, with each project starting with a detailed acoustic study and culminating in a certification of the acoustic comfort achieved. This strategy has allowed the company to differentiate itself in a competitive global market, supported by sustainable processes and ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and sustainable product certifications.
IDEATEC expects to close 2025 with a 39% growth, reaching five million euros. Among its upcoming developments is a line of products manufactured together with the AITEX institute from recycled textile materials, as part of its circular economy strategy.
