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.
“Akunok is a composition of flat surfaces. Nothing is completely closed. Its intriguing design language stems from an ambitious objective to radically enhance soundscapes.”
Designer Maja Ganszyniec
A furniture concept for hybrid meetings, informal conversations, and focused work.
The concept consists of generously deep and comfortable acoustic seats in one-seater and two-seater versions; an innovative floor screen; and two neat tables, one round and the other oval.
