Discover the new NARBUTAS collection in the acoustic furniture category, reflecting modern trends in office design. PARTHOS is a collection of stylish, mobile and eco-friendly acoustic columns that not only improve the acoustics of rooms but also make the office environment more functional. Acoustic columns are one of the solutions with which you can achieve the desired acoustic balance in the most varied rooms, creating a pleasant, effective working environment. And the nicest thing about them is that they require no special mounts, so they provide great freedom and flexibility.
The task of the modern office is to ensure acoustic comfort
Architects and designers solve not only questions of effectively planning office spaces and creating a modern interior, but also the task of ensuring acoustic comfort. The size and shape of rooms, as well as the materials and furniture used in them, have a significant impact on the propagation of sound waves. If the office interior is dominated by such popular materials as concrete, metal or glass, and there is not enough textile or soft furniture, the acoustics in this office will most likely not be very good.
When creating the PARTHOS acoustic columns, we long and carefully considered which materials would ensure quality sound absorption, reduce reverberation and be sufficiently durable. We filled PARTHOS with textile offcuts, which have excellent sound-absorbing properties. In addition, these columns are covered with PET felt, which enhances these qualities.
The advantages of balanced acoustics
An open-plan office is filled with extraneous sounds that propagate in the environment at different frequencies — high, medium and low. High-frequency noise is, for example, phone calls; medium-frequency noise is human speech; and low-frequency noise is usually generated by heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. A well-balanced acoustic environment helps eliminate or significantly reduce these sound disturbances, which of course significantly increases employee productivity and creates a space in which it is pleasant to work and rest.
Acoustic partitions and panels excellently muffle high- and medium-frequency noise, and thanks to their size and the materials they are made of, PARTHOS acoustic columns provide excellent suppression of all three types of noise. By combining various NARBUTAS acoustic solutions, you will be able not only to ensure exceptional acoustic comfort in your office but also to create a stylish, functional office environment.
When pleasant acoustics are not enough
Open-plan offices have enjoyed considerable popularity for many years, as a result of which many acoustic solutions have been developed that not only absorb sound but also have a unique design. All this significantly eases the work of designers and architects, since they do not have to sacrifice the aesthetic aspect for the sake of functionality. In addition, modern consumers are quite demanding, and a product can no longer perform only one specific function — they are more interested in multifunctional items that provide a higher level of flexibility and comfort.
PARTHOS acoustic columns provide the necessary sound absorption. By choosing different models, you will be able to make use of additional functions, such as charging smart devices and hooks for clothes and bags. In addition, PARTHOS will help create a biophilic design in your office, which is sure to become an adornment of any interior.
Sustainable design helps achieve long-term goals
Sustainable development is one of the long-term strategic directions of NARBUTAS, and PARTHOS is one of the products we have created that meet the principles of sustainable design. As a rule, foam material is used in the production of acoustic products, but we deliberately chose a more sustainable solution, using textile offcuts left over from production. The acoustic products are covered with PET felt, which resembles wool, although in fact it is more than 50% made of recycled plastic. In total, PARTHOS consists of at least 32% recycled materials (metal, PET felt and textile). These acoustic columns are very easy to disassemble, sort and recycle. Acoustic characteristics, multifunctionality, and a stylish, eco-friendly design — this is all that is needed for PARTHOS products to fit organically into meeting and discussion spaces, rest areas, public spaces and many other corners of the modern office.
