In the early 2000s, Teppo Asikainen was one of four Finnish designers who started the design company Snowcrash. Digitization was in its start-up phase and Snowcrash was early on in creating furniture for the new era. Their pioneering work has recently received attention both at the National Museum in Stockholm and during the Salone del Mobile in Milan. Offecct and Asikainen’s 20th anniversary acoustic panel Soundwave® Swell is more relevant than ever.
Soundwave® Swell was one of the first panels launched by Offecct. Its core values lies in its function, and Teppo Asikainen refused to compromise with the look. The piece has a very strong personality and acts as a kind of 3D wallpaper giving the room the right aesthetic feeling and acoustic at the same time.
Soundwave® Swell Diffuser provides sound diffusion rather than absorption. Correctly positioned, the diffuser panels will improve speech intelligibility and even improve privacy in open spaces as the speaker does not need to talk loudly in order to be heard.
