Domus ospita il nuovo progetto E.Box di Etoile

Est ‘Domus’ in Rebus

The prestigious architecture and design magazine hosts Etoile’s new E.Box project in its focus about the transformation of workplaces as a metaphor for social change

The June edition of Domus magazine devotes an insight into the office’s state of the art as “a concrete symbol, and at the same time the metaphor, for the concept of work, for its consistence and perhaps also for its real possibility of futuring and transforming the world.”

This is the context in which the historic magazine, founded by Gio Ponti in 1928 and ‘directed’ by the celebrated British architect Norman Foster as Guest Editor throughout 2024, hosts within its pages a feature focused on the latest release from Etoile and Divilux. We are referring to the E.BOX project, a contemporary all-glass acoustic booth concept that can be integrated with all the ranges of partitions already available in our catalog.

The design, developed by architect Paolo Pampanoni, allows for maximum customization of both abatement and reduction noise rates, through the possibility of using glass of different thicknesses and of different acoustic performance, as well as easily installed sound-absorbing panels. In addition, it allows for perfect ‘equipability’ with worktops, acoustic panels, curtains and shelves This is achieved in the pursuit of sustainability, following two basic guidelines: the first one relating to functional performance; the other to manufacturing simplicity and end-of-life components separation.

E.BOX fits squarely into the framework set out by Domus to ponder on how work is changing through new arrangements of spatial elements. “The transformation of places, in fact, is not solely one of the main functional tools in the professional exercise”- Walter Mariotti notes in his column – “but above all, it is an efficient image of the way the whole concept of work is changing, as well as its cultural transformation within our society.”
