Vika acoustic lighting

In collaboration with designer Khodi Feiz, Abstracta takes a new approach to acoustic lighting — one that aims to create a peaceful atmosphere. The result is Vika, a sculptural floor screen that radiates atmospheric light while managing both low-frequency and high-frequency noise. “It’s another way of thinking about sound and light,” says Feiz. “Vika’s function is to create a calm atmosphere.”

Vika’s basic form is as simple as it is ingenious: an oblong floor screen made of sound-absorbing felt folded into the shape of a wing. This creates a space that encapsulates and absorbs sound while concealing the screen’s light source. The screen, whose indirect light creates a cosy and inspiring atmosphere, consists of a soft, sound-absorbing core partly made of recycled PET bottles. It is covered with Texfel acoustic felt.
