Texaa Abso cushions

EPD availableCeilingFree-hanging

Description

Abso cushions are the flat members of Texaa's Abso range: a slab of gray cellular foam with an Aeria knit cover stretched over a steel hoop, which gives them soft, rounded edges. They come as squares and rectangles with rounded corners and as discs. The shapes are sized to be combined into balanced groups below high ceilings and in large open volumes, including renovated buildings where old and new features meet. Each cushion is installed on its own; unlike Texaa Stereo panels, they are not joined into continuous clusters.
