PARENTESIT FOR ARPER — ITALY

A Space for Focus

Parentesit offers confort for contemporary shared spaces. A private space when you need it for collaboration or independent thinking, Parentesit is an acoustic Wall modeule that reduces extraneous background noise and creates a space for concentration. The bold, graphic forms are available in three shapes —a circle, a square or an oval— that speak to diverse environments and can be further customized with the addition of a speaker or ambient light. These geometric forms can stand alone or be paired together for greater impact. The signature and elemental shapes of Parentesit complement Arper’s clean, minimal language to créate a visual element that is as functional as it is modern.
