Texaa Abso totem

Freestanding

Description

The Abso totem is a free-standing column of gray cellular foam in an Aeria knit cover, set into a shallow steel base tray. It is light, needs no installation and can easily be moved whenever a layout changes. Totems help organize open spaces and partition off quiet zones, and are particularly useful in large halls, corridors and meeting rooms. Standing in the room, they also act as visual markers that signpost quieter areas. A version hung from the ceiling on a steel hoop is listed under Abso ceiling-hung objects.
