Collection: Abstracta

Abstracta is a Swedish manufacturer that has specialised in furniture and acoustic design since 1972. The brand approaches a room as both a visual environment and a soundscape, working with designers across Scandinavia and beyond to create acoustic products that improve how a space sounds without compromising how it looks. Manufactured in Sweden and developed with sustainability in mind, the range carries the calm, considered character that defines the best Scandinavian design.

Acoustic wall and ceiling panels

Abstracta's panels give you control over reverberation across walls and ceilings, and they're designed to work either as quiet background absorption or as a genuine design feature. The collection is broad and varied. Soneo is a versatile system of square panels, available in multiple thicknesses that can be combined to build personalised patterns while delivering both absorption and diffusion. Scala takes its cue from corrugated iron, with a moulded, wave-shaped felt surface that breaks up sound waves and adds sculptural texture to walls and ceilings. Triline uses an angled, three-dimensional profile that doubles as an aesthetic statement and an acoustic one, while Bits Wall offers a modular, geometric system for covering larger areas. For something more distinctive, Sahara is made from waste material left over from wine cork production, and Domo pairs a solid pine frame with a polyester absorbing core. Most panels can be specified in a wide choice of upholstery fabrics and colours, so they can be tailored to almost any interior.

Acoustic lighting

Abstracta's acoustic lighting solves two problems with a single fitting — it lights a space and absorbs unwanted sound, which is a particularly space-efficient way to improve a soundscape. Lily is a sound-absorbing pendant inspired by water lily leaves, with a moulded felt body that gives the impression of floating in the air; it's made for larger rooms such as restaurants and open-plan offices, and looks especially effective hung in clusters at different heights. Scala pendant lighting brings the same wavy, corrugated profile from the panel range overhead, creating a cosy, sheltered feel above conference tables, desk clusters and café seating. Both can usually be specified with or without an integrated LED light source, so they can also be used purely as suspended absorbers where extra lighting isn't needed.
