Texaa Stereo Air open mesh panel

EPD availableCeilingFree-hanging

Description

Stereo Air shares the steel frame of the Stereo panel but has no absorbent core. It is dressed in Aeria Grande Maille Ronde, an open net Texaa created by widening the stitch of its usual knit. The mesh grows more transparent the closer you get. The panel is a visual filter rather than an absorber. Sound, conditioned air, light and heat radiation pass through, so lighting and ventilation above keep working, and lights can sit above the mesh or hang through it. Stereo Air is usually combined with absorbing Stereo panels in a Strato ceiling, where the share of open panels sets look and acoustics.
