Vika

Vika can be used to divide a large space into smaller rooms, creating a better soundscape and a quieter atmosphere. Surprisingly high impact on acoustics — thanks to its generous height.

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. Designed to be placed close to users — to intercept noise where it occurs

Multiple layers of acoustic materials provide effective sound absorption. “A clever thing about Vika is that both the floor screens and the ceiling luminaire are designed to be close to those in the room who are its sound sources. This stops sound waves before they can bounce off the walls and ceiling.”

Head office Reminiscent of a light pillar, the smaller version is a beautiful solitary object with an extraordinary spatial presence that works well in corners. “I can imagine it in cafés and restaurants and in meeting rooms. I dare say it would even be wonderful to have at home because it lends any space such a cosy warmth,” says Khodi Feiz.
