Texaa Abso ceiling-hung objects
Description
Texaa's ceiling-hung Abso objects are three-dimensional absorbers of gray cellular foam covered in Aeria knit: cubes in three sizes, a small cone and a tall totem. All are very light and hang from thin vertical cables. Cubes can hang diagonally from one corner or sit level in a steel hoop. They are meant for large volumes such as sports halls, swimming pools, schools and offices, and rooms with little free wall area, where they bring absorption into the room. Mixed freely, they can give a room structure or a playful note, and they suit all types of ceiling, including exposed roof structures. A free-standing version of the totem is listed as Abso totem.
