Abstracta

What Abstracta does

Abstracta AB, founded in 1972 and headquartered in Lammhult, Sweden, designs and manufactures acoustic solutions for workplaces and public spaces. Its portfolio spans silent pods (Zen Pod and Plenty Pod series in Small to XXL configurations), floor screens, desk screens, wall panels (Domo, Scala, Sahara), suspended absorbers, acoustic furniture (dB Pillar, Akunok seating), acoustic lighting (Vika, Lily), ceiling baffles, and writing panels. The underlying technology combines three acoustic methods — absorption (porous/soft materials converting sound waves to thermal energy), diffusion (surface structure dispersing sound waves), and attenuation (physical barriers separating acoustic zones) — with notable differentiated products such as the dB Pillar (filled with the company's own textile waste to address low-frequency noise) and the Plenty Pod (mobile quiet rooms with full sound isolation, ventilation, LED lighting, and optional NEC video conferencing integration). Design collaborations with award-winning designers Thomas Bernstrand and Stefan Borselius, plus the Abstracta x Wall of Art and Abstracta x Verk lines, anchor a design-led positioning. The company explicitly emphasizes sustainable materials (cork, hemp, mycelium) and circular production, with products designed to avoid material mixing for end-of-life recyclability.

Abstracta serves B2B customers on a request-a-quote basis, with no public e-commerce pricing. It sells through a global network of direct sales representatives, agents, and sole distributors, supported by showrooms in Lammhult (HQ), a new Clerkenwell, London showroom opened during Clerkenwell Design Week 2026 (shared with Tarkett UK under the Lammhults Design Group umbrella), and a Copenhagen showroom activated during 3daysofdesign 2026. Pricing varies by product, size, fabric selection (multiple tiers from suppliers including Kvadrat, Camira, Gabriel, and Ludvig Svensson), and configuration. The customer base is enterprise-grade and horizontally diversified across industries — broadcasting (SVT), music/technology (Spotify, Microsoft), fashion (H&M), automotive (Polestar, Volvo, Toyota), telecommunications (Ericsson), architecture (Snøhetta), transportation (Deutsche Bahn), construction (Skanska), and packaging (Tetra Pak). The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lammhults Design Group, a Swedish design conglomerate that includes sister companies Fora Form, Lammhults, and Ragnars, with shared marketing, showroom, and group operations.

Core offering

Abstracta designs and manufactures acoustic furniture and sound-absorbing products—including silent pods, floor and desk screens, wall and ceiling panels, suspended absorbers, acoustic furniture, and acoustic lighting—for offices, schools, hospitality, and public spaces.

Product overview

Abstracta is an acoustic solutions company that creates products to improve soundscapes in workspaces and public spaces. The product portfolio is organized into multiple product families and categories including Silent Pods (Zen Pod and Plenty Pod series - mobile quiet rooms in various sizes for private meetings and focused work), Acoustic Wall Panels (Domo, Scala, Sahara, and related panels for wall-mounted sound absorption), Floor Screens (Softline, dB Floor Screen, Akunok for spatial division and acoustic treatment), Desk Screens (Softline variants for desktop mounting), Suspended Absorbers (Airflake and hanging acoustic products), Acoustic Furniture (dB Pillar - innovative pillars filled with textile waste), Acoustic Lighting (Vika, Lily, and related lighting products combining illumination with sound absorption), and Acoustic Wall Art (Abstracta x Wall of Art panels featuring artwork from collaborating artists). Products employ three main acoustic methods: Absorption (porous/soft materials transforming sound waves to thermal energy), Diffusion (surface structure dispersing sound waves), and Attenuation (barriers preventing sound travel between zones). The company emphasizes sustainable design using renewable natural and recycled materials, with waste from one process used as material in another.

Direct peers

• BAUX: Swedish design-led manufacturer of acoustic panels, screens, and tiles. Competes directly with Abstracta's wall panel, floor screen, and desk screen categories using a similar sustainability-forward, designer-collab go-to-market.
• Offecct: Swedish acoustic furniture and design company owned by Flokk, offering acoustic panels, seating, and room solutions. Comparable product scope (acoustic furniture, screens) and overlapping enterprise/specifier customer base.
• Humanscale: Office ergonomics and furniture specialist with a growing acoustic and privacy screen range. Targets similar enterprise office buyers and increasingly overlaps with Abstracta's screen and panel categories.
• Kinnarps: Swedish office furniture manufacturer with a dedicated acoustic interiors range. Directly comparable as a Nordic office furniture brand targeting enterprise workplaces with screens, panels, and pod-adjacent solutions.
• Framery: Finland-based manufacturer of soundproof office pods (Framery O, One, etc.). Closest direct competitor in the silent pod category that Abstracta's Zen Pod and Plenty Pod lines target, serving the same enterprise and hybrid-work customers.

Broad incumbents

• Haworth: Major global office furniture manufacturer with acoustic product lines (e.g., Framery-sold pods in some markets) and a wide dealer network. Overlaps with Abstracta in commercial office acoustic interiors but at much greater scale.
• Steelcase: Largest global office furniture manufacturer. Offers acoustic panels, pods, and screens as part of a much broader workplace portfolio; serves many of the same enterprise accounts as Abstracta but as a generalist.
• MillerKnoll: Combined entity of Herman Miller and Knoll. Competes across the full office furniture spectrum including acoustic furniture and pods via its Colebrook Bosson Saunders and other brands; broad incumbent alternative for Abstracta's enterprise customers.
• Vitra: Swiss design-led office and contract furniture manufacturer. Competes at the premium, design-conscious end of office interiors where Abstracta positions its designer collaborations, though with a broader product portfolio.

Emerging players

• Room: Phone booth and meeting pod maker focused on the silent pod category. Smaller scale than Abstracta but directly competing for the same hybrid-work office pod budgets.
