Acoustic sofa AKUNOK

contemporaryfabricgray

The new acoustic furniture concept by Abstracta and designer Maja Ganszyniec ambitiously tackles two of the biggest challenges facing many of today’s workplaces. The first is to create better soundscapes that promote well-being and job satisfaction. The second is to offer employees secluded, quiet smaller areas where they can focus on their work in comfort, either alone or in small groups. A play on the words acoustic and nook, Akunok is about carefully created seclusion — rather than establishing enclosed rooms.Akunok is designed for dynamic environments characterised by noise and movement, such as open-plan offices and co-working spaces. It is also ideal for furnishing lobbies, libraries and reading rooms. Or for improving the soundscape and creating spatial variety in large, open environments, such as malls, train stations, and airports. The generously deep, highback acoustic seat is a secluded space unto itself in dynamic environments. Both high and low frequencies can be effectively addressed thanks to the deep seat and well-balanced side and back panels. The excellent sound-absorbing properties of Akunoks are established in Acoustic facts' independent quality tests.
