Akustik XL & Mini design by Åke Axelsson – Gärsnäs

“My sound-absorbent akustik series has grown into a whole family. The Xl easy chair is based on nursing and caring service desiderata. it is higher and more spacious that the general run of contract chairs. Many older people appreciate sitting higher up. The additional seating height and the stout armrest make both sitting down and getting up again easier.”

“The akustik Mini kiddie chair is the Gärsnäs collection’s first item of children’s furniture. It is intended for schools, day nurseries, hospitals and all other places with noise problems. In settings for adults, deliberate steps are taken to counteract noise. n ow it’s the children’s turn.”

AKUSTIK BEST BY EUROPEAN STANDARD

The Akustik sound-absorbent series has been voted best in test. Comprehensive testing by the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden has shown that Akustik substantially improves the acoustic environment.

Comparative measurements were taken in a room furnished with ten Akustik chairs with sound-absorbent material under the seat and another room with ten chairs having no sound absorbent. The results showed the sound level to be more than halved by sound-absorbent material. The test also proved that, the greater the number of chairs with sound-absorbent material under the seats, the pleasanter the environment.
