Abstracta Akunok Floor Screen
A concept that tackles the major challenges of today’s workplaces.
Design by: Maja Ganszyniec
The innovative floor screen is a part of the acoustic furniture concept Akunok by Abstracta and designer Maja Ganszyniec. It 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. From an acoustic perspective, Akunok ranks among the best, with top scores from independent interior acoustics expert Acoustic Facts. Its elegant, clean and honest design language evokes a subtle association with Japanese architecture.
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.
The two partially overlapping screens emphasise Akunok’s spatial presence while significantly enhancing acoustic performance.
“When you look at it more closely, you see the details that make it unique. To me, this is a way to create objects that will last a long time.”
— Designer Maja Ganszyniec
Consisting of solid pine frames, soft sound-absorbing infill and fabric with an elegant French seam, the Akunok twin floor screen is a simple yet effective acoustic solution.
The space created between the two screens acts as a sound trap. Careful selection of fabrics; several bear the EU Ecolabel. The steel tube base is available in several colours.
Pure and honest design that blends into many environments.
