DB PILLAR

"A game-changer in the field of acoustic furniture."

With his new product for Abstracta, the price awarded Swedish designer Thomas Bernstrand explores the potential of an essential element of architecture to add new value and function to a space: the pillar.

Since antiquity, the pillar has been used as support for buildings but also as ornament and monument. Thomas Bernstrand’s version of the pillar makes a playful reference to the latter use: It is possible to put a plant on top of it. But in all other respects, his pillar is different from the pillars and columns we are used to.

DESIGNER

THOMAS BERNSTRAND

Driven by curiosity and armed with a critical eye, designer Thomas Bernstrand is devoted to challenging our habitual perceptions, our understanding of things and where they belong. His works often involve unexpected shifts between contexts, resulting in particular design idioms and functionalities appearing in places where they have never been seen before.

Bernstrand’s works include his two renowned lamp series, Dikanyama and Shibuya, designed for Zero, and the Bob sofa, which he co-designed with Stefan Borselius for Blå Station. The dB sound-absorbing screen series is his first work for Abstracta. Born in 1965 and based in Stockholm, Thomas Bernstrand studied at the Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design and at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm.

He has received numerous Swedish and international design awards, and has exhibited at Colette in Paris and at MoMA in New York City.

INFORMATION

FEATURES

dB Pillar includes tables, stools, and pillars in various heights. Several pillars with different additional features are available: pillars with whiteboard, with support for climbing plants, with magazine holders, with flower pots, and with coat hangers.

MATERIAL

dB Pillar works wonders for the soundscape. In combination with the material, the design of the product gives it unique acoustic features. It radically reduces the levels of low frequency noise, that most products fail to deal with.

PRODUCTION

DB Pillar is filled with textile waste from Abstracta’s factory. Thus, the product supports Abstracta’s long-term vision of a circular production process!
