We already shared that acoustic design is having its momentum inside and outside our homes. But where is the limit of noise acceptance? According to experts, noise levels in office spaces where conceptual work is carried out should not exceed 55 decibels.
Here goes a list of different decibel scenarios so you get the chance to classify a noise range:
10 dB- Quiet breathing
20 dB- Library
30 dB- Light traffic
40 dB- Conversation
50 dB- Group of persons
60 dB- Demonstration
70 dB- Motorcycle
80 dB- Train
90 dB- Heavy traffic
100 dB- Electric drill
110 dB- Concert
120 dB- Aircraft engine
130 dB- Take-off of an aircraft
Spanish design company Sancal rescues this design by Lesur & Venot originally launched in 2014 and awarded back then with the Hermès Award For Best Author Design. This slender and organic furniture is fixed to the wall waiting for someone to lean and crawl in searching for a pause, moment of quietness within crowded public spaces, or busy office environments.
