Rio Cabinet back
It transforms existing functional surfaces into acoustic absorption supports, without modifying the furniture or intervening on the building structure.
Developed for open spaces and shared areas, Rio helps improve sound comfort by treating surfaces that are often left unused.
Integration & Installation: Enhancing What Already Exists
Designed as an optimization solution, Rio stands out through:
- simple, fast magnetic attachment on metal cabinets
- a wide dimensional range (800 to 1,200 mm wide, 700 to 2,200 mm high)
- a mass‑tinted rPET finish ensuring uniformity and durability
- a choice of 30 colors to blend into or energize interior layouts
Inspired by the vibrant tones associated with Rio, the color palette allows for controlled contrast or continuity with an existing architectural identity.
