Drag to turn the house
The interactive house needs WebGL. The scenes below still show what happens at home.
Kraków · all of Poland · since 2009
We design and install audio-video systems, home cinemas, lighting control and KNX automation — then weave them into one system you run with a single touch.
Lights over the table at 60%, the living room dimmed, background music in the dining area.
Grupa Arachne Multimedia
In Greek myth Arachne was a weaver so skilled that not even a goddess could match her cloth. We took our name from her — and our way of working.
We weave sound, picture, light, climate and security into one whole. Cables vanish into the walls, remotes into a drawer, and the technology steps back. What is left is comfort: one app, one panel, one gesture.
Services
Each of these systems works on its own. Real comfort starts when we join them — then one “Cinema” button dims the lights, closes the blinds, lowers the screen and starts the sound.

One panel instead of ten remotes
We join every system in a home or building into one consistent interface: an RTI remote, a wall panel, an iPad in a Basalte frame or a phone app. Scenes run complex sequences with one button, and we design the panel around the people who use it.
A smart building on an open standard
KNX is an open wiring standard in which lighting, heating, air conditioning, ventilation, blinds, irrigation and multimedia talk to each other. We choose actuators, input modules, interfaces and bus power supplies for the building, so the installation lasts for years and is easy to change.
Lighting scenes, smooth transitions
We program scenes for work, relaxing, dinner or a film, with smooth transitions between them. Lighting can be controlled centrally and remotely, and while you are away the system simulates someone at home. In shops and hotels, light shows off the interior and the goods.
Music follows you from room to room
Your music, TV and films in every room — independently for several people at once. We plan the zones around the home, and the speakers can disappear into a ceiling or wall. Music servers join your own collection with streaming services.
From the living room to a dedicated theatre
We install home cinemas in living rooms and in dedicated cinema rooms. We match the screen, projector or TV and the sound to the room, and either show the equipment off or hide it, as you prefer. We work with architects from the design stage and upgrade existing systems too.
Sound for connoisseurs and for business
We satisfy connoisseurs of clean, faithful sound and professionally equip restaurants, hotels, shops and offices with sound. A wide range of manufacturers lets us balance quality, function and budget.
A room where everything simply works
Microphones, sound, voting consoles, projectors and screens, and recording of proceedings to MP3 files. We connect the room and set up control from a tablet or computer, so the host can react quickly to how the meeting goes.
Home cinema
Enter the room size and the planner places the speakers following Dolby Atmos guidelines and suggests a screen size for your seating distance. Then press “Test” and listen — with your eyes.
The planner is a guide: angles follow Dolby guidelines for Atmos layouts, the screen a 30–40° viewing angle (SMPTE/THX). The final design follows a visit and acoustic measurements of the room.
Projects
Selected projects from Kraków and beyond: residences and apartments, hotels, restaurants and public venues. Many were made together with interior designers.
How we work
It is best to start before the plastering — then the cables go exactly where they are needed. We upgrade existing buildings too.
We get to know the building, your needs and your budget, prepare an initial quote and then arrange a site visit.
We choose the equipment and plan the installation — ideally with your architect, so the technology fits the interior design.
During construction or renovation we run the cables and prepare the places for the devices, following the building schedule.
We install the devices, program the scenes and panels, and calibrate picture and sound.
We teach you how to use it, hand over the documentation and help when the system needs to grow with you.
Products
We choose what works best in each building — from control and automation to speakers and screens.

Questions
At the design stage or the shell stage, before plastering. Then the cables go exactly where they are needed and devices can disappear into walls and ceilings. For existing buildings we choose solutions that don’t mean tearing the house apart.
KNX is a wired, open standard that doesn’t depend on one manufacturer — excellent in new and large buildings. When upgrading, wireless solutions are often a better fit. We advise once we know the building and your needs.
Yes — from an iOS or Android app, plus wall panels, RTI remotes or an iPad in a frame. When the system is connected to the internet it also works remotely, from anywhere in the world.
That is exactly what integration is for. We design the interface around the household: the most common tasks are one scene button, and all the technology works in the background. After installation we show you how to use it.
Yes, gladly and for years — with interior designers we agree which elements to show and which to hide. It is best to invite us at the design stage.
Our office is in Kraków and most of our projects are here, but we work all over Poland — a residence in Częstochowa is one example.
Yes. We extend and upgrade existing installations — home cinemas included — and add control to equipment you already have. We provide service both under and after warranty.
It depends on the building and the scope — from one audio zone to automation of a whole house. After a conversation we prepare an initial quote, and a detailed estimate after the site visit and design.
