Parentesit × Arper


FOCUSED SILENCE
Silence is not the absence of noise, but the focus of it. Like looking out to the horizon of the sea, or through a window onto a garden, with Parentesit we searched for a big visual presence that centers the space without overwhelming it —a sculptural gesture that is also invisibly functional.
Parentesit was developed to bring visual calmness and acoustic clarity to contemporary workspaces. The panel softens the atmosphere, supports concentration, and brings a quiet sense of comfort to shared or individual spaces.















BOLD AND CONSIDERED
Parentesit’s bold geometric forms— circle, square, and oval—are both elemental shapes and distinctive design signatures. Each form can stand alone or be combined to create a stronger spatial rhythm, and through colour and lines they can shift in character, becoming either understated or quietly playful.
The floor-standing panels extend this logic into three dimensions, functioning as background elements that absorb and soften a space, or as informal dividers that define territory without resorting to walls. Like the wall-mounted version, they are configurable across a wide range of fabrics and colour combinations, so that each installation reads as considered and specific to its context rather than generic or repeated.






THE SIMPLE AND THE COMPLEX
Parentesit wall panels carries more than fabric and form. Each panel can be customised with an integrated speaker — controlled via a dedicated app — and an ambient backlight with adjustable intensity, extending its role well beyond acoustic performance. All of this is resolved within a shape of striking simplicity — circle, square, or oval — without a single visible technical element compromising the panel's calm, graphic presence.
Shape and colour, multiplied and rotated, shift a room from understated to boldly architectural. Parentesit does not decorate — it defines. It absorbs noise, diffuses light, and sets the emotional register of a space with the silent confidence of a form that knows exactly what it is. The result is an atmosphere that feels considered without being designed to be noticed.
