RELAX 040 | Nina Mair

The acoustics of a room play a crucial role in creating a cosy and pleasant atmosphere. As
sound-reflecting materials such as exposed concrete, glass and metallic surfaces are used
more and more widely in contemporary architecture, the demand for adequate planning
solutions to acoustically optimize interior rooms is increasing considerably. RELAX 040 is an
aesthetically pleasing alternative with minimum space requirements to effectively control
the acoustics of a room. Being positioned on walls and ceilings, the RELAX 040 sound
absorber is both an extremely versatile and optically discreet piece of furniture that can be
integrated elegantly in its surroundings. If necessary, special hinge cover plates can be used
to configure several panels into one stand-alone element that can serve to divide a room
into different zones of activity. In addition, the sound absorbers can be combined freely
with other items of furniture in order to arrange large office areas into acoustically largely
independent units of activity. The textile cover of RELAX 040 is made of 100% merino
wool, produced locally and available in 36 colours. The sidebars are available in matching
colours and materials. Thanks to the interaction of the finish of the surface, the shape of
the product and its dimension, this highly efficient acoustic element absorbs the sound in
all directions and achieves the highest sound absorption class A. At a height of 1.2 m, its
absorbing capacity is equivalent to a two-dimensional absorbing area of 2 m².
