Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Abstracta Launches Acoustic Panels with Ingegerd Råman amd Verk

— February 12, 2025 — Art & Design
Abstracta has launched a new line of sound-absorbing framed acoustic panels. In collaboration with Verk and Swedish designer Ingegerd Råman, Abstracta has unveiled a refined collection of high-end acoustic panels that merge sustainability, functionality, and timeless design. Framed in minimalist oak and wrapped in eco-friendly Swedish wool textiles, these elegant panels offer both superior sound absorption and a sophisticated aesthetic.

Recognizing wool’s natural flame-retardant properties, Abstracta integrated it into their acoustic solutions as a safe, non-toxic alternative to synthetics. Designed for diverse spaces—restaurants, hotels, offices, co-working spaces, schools, and home workspaces—these panels effectively reduce ambient noise, enhancing comfort and productivity.

At their core, a Swedish-engineered sound-absorbing material made from recycled textile waste and PET-based polyester reinforces the brand’s commitment to sustainability.
