Danish studio Norm Architects' Tone Cabinets is designed to dampen noise in the home as well as the office.
Created for Swedish brand Zilenzio – which specialises in acoustic products – the furniture is designed to absorb noise while remaining pleasing to the eye.
According to the studio, the fabric-covered cabinets absorb certain frequencies of sound where needed the most, and are aimed at improving acoustics in more domestic environments.
Available in three sizes, the furniture is part of a broader trend that has seen noise reduction become a "major preoccupation" in Scandinavian interiors.
As more workers inhabit open-plan offices, there's been greater demand for not just acoustic panels but ways to make existing furniture better at baffling noise.
