Abstracta dB is a screen system that serves as a discreet scenery set for open office environments and designed to be brought to life by the people who work there. Thomas Bernstrand’s aim in designing dB was to enable people to make an impression on their surroundings – to cast the individual as a co-creator. The screens can thus be upholstered in any fabric, and the series includes a whiteboard-faced screen, a cork-faced screen for bulletins, and a range of clever accessories to accommodate photos, magazines and other personal items. Bernstrand’s reputed mischievousness as a designer shows up in the form of an optional flower pot, balanced improbably on the top edge of the dB screen. dB includes a height-adjustable table featuring the noise-dampening Strata table top.
