Every piece of furniture hides an effective sound absorber integrated in the design. The open frame construction, conceals three different layers of sound absorbing materials, which all interact with an optimized air gap and the main frame volume. The whole family has identical corners, legs and top structure. Frames and leg parts are all CNC-milled out of massive ash wood, that makes them easy to combine together. The top shelf is in MDF with ash veneer, while the acoustic filling is made of felt, perforated board and polyether.
