Akunok

Abstracta – Acoustic solutions

Designed by Maja Ganszyniec.

A play on the words acoustic and nook, Akunok is about carefully created seclusion — rather than establishing enclosed rooms.

This new acoustic furniture concept ambitiously tackles two challenges. The first is to create better soundscapes that promote well-being. The second is to offer secluded, quiet smaller areas where people can focus in comfort, either alone or in small groups.

designed for dynamic environments characterised by noise and movement, such as open-plan 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.

Product Details

Both high and low frequencies can be effectively addressed thanks to the deep seat and well-balanced side and back panels. “It isn’t just the sound-absorbing material inside the seats that dampens sound. Akunok’s corners and voids also act as sound traps.” – Designer Maja Ganszyniec. 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. Armchair & two Seater – The highback Akunok acoustic seat features pocket springs for maximum comfort. By incorporating pocket springs for seating support, Akunok not only achieves superior comfort compared to the use of large volumes of polyurethane foam but also ensures long-lasting comfort while significantly minimizing material usage. Available in a selection of fabrics and the base is available in several colours.

Armchair – 1090 x 980 x 1290h
Two seater – 1990 x 980 x 1290h

Floor screen – The space created between the two screens acts as a sound trap. The self-supporting floor screen lacks any protruding legs that impede furniture arrangement. Available in a selection of fabrics.

twin floor screen – 1570 x 312 x 1610h

Side tables – one round and one oval, suitable for a laptop. Both table tops are made of oak. A clever base with two tubular steel legs lets users pull the table forward so the table top slightly overlaps the seat cushion. Its base is available in several colours.
