Kriskadecor KHRONOS Suspended sound-absorbing partition with recycled PET panels

Khronos by Rafa Ortega arises from the challenge of integrating visual and sensory dimensions into Kriskadecor’s design solutions.‎ By incorporating acoustic panels into the chains, they acquire a new functionality that redefines the boundaries of traditional design.‎ Each installation achieves a perfect balance between aesthetic beauty and acoustic performance, offering an immersive experience that invites pause and immersion in a harmony of emotions.‎ Khronos is more than a collection; it is a reflection on time and space.‎ Inspired by the concept of spaces as complex environments, it explores the coexistence of multiple realities and their implications.‎ Each design represents an autonomous universe with unique characteristics, interconnected across time and space.‎ Building on this vision, architects and designers can transform their projects in hotels, restaurants, or offices with Kriskadecor’s space dividers, wallcoverings, or ceiling features, which reduce reverberation and improve acoustic comfort without compromising on design.‎ The collection offers two options: integrating the designs into new spaces or incorporating them into existing projects, where Khronos’ acoustic applications can be easily installed, giving aluminium chains a second life.‎ The panels are fully customisable and adaptable to the specific requirements of each project.‎ Furthermore, the new collection combines responsible design with durability.‎ The acoustic panels are made from 100% recycled PET, contributing to the reduction of plastic waste, while the aluminium chains can be recycled indefinitely without losing their original quality.‎ All of this is complemented by local production, reinforcing the collection’s commitment to sustainability.‎ SÒLID and LÍQUID: The Parallel Realities of Khronos The designs by Rafa Ortega belong to two distinct dimensions: SÒLID and LÍQUID.‎ In the first, we find Boho, Rosella, and Metropolis—representations of the immutable, the mark of time that endures and remains steadfast in a world of constant change.‎ Inspired by harmony and balance, it captures the essence of the eternal, where each form appears suspended in time, untouched and imperishable.‎ Its elements draw references from nature and architecture: the perfection of a flower that keeps blooming, the solidity of great metropolises, and the symmetry that brings order to chaos.‎ SÒLID evokes stability, resilience, and permanence, as if each design had been sculpted by time and preserved forever.‎ On the other hand, Peixos, Mantarraya, and Meduses belong to the LÍQUID dimension, representing the constant flow of time, transformation, and adaptability.‎ Inspired by the nature of water and organic movement, each piece evokes dynamism, lightness, and change.‎ Like the ever-moving tides or the wind that shapes landscapes, LIQUID symbolises the ephemeral, the versatile, and that which reinvents itself at every moment.‎ Its forms recall the sinuousness of jellyfish, the elegance of fish in motion, and the fluidity of elements that cannot be contained.‎ It is the part of Khronos that reminds us that nothing remains still, and that design, much like time, is an ever-evolving journey.‎
