This fall, we introduce Giro, a new acoustic room divider created with design studio Yonoh. As the way we work and interact changes, Giro is designed not to separate, but to connect. It brings calm, softness, and acoustic balance to shared environments, helping people feel better and work better.
“Giro merges functionality, acoustic comfort, and design into a coherent whole.”
Alex Selma, designer at Yonoh
“The idea came from observing how workspaces and social areas have evolved. We no longer just design to separate, but also to connect. We wanted to create a system that brings softness and flexibility to contemporary interiors, breaking away from rigid, linear partitions and introducing a more organic rhythm,” says Alex Selma, designer at Yonoh Creative Studio, and continues:
“Giro merges functionality, acoustic comfort, and design into a coherent whole, creating pieces that are not only useful but emotionally engaging, a balance we always strive for in our work.”
Reduces noise, enhances balance
Giro is a freestanding acoustic panel system designed to define spaces in a fluid and flexible way. Made from highly effective stone wool, it’s built to improve the sound environment while adding softness and balance to any space.
Each element can stand alone or be combined to create larger compositions that adapt to changing needs. The name Giro, meaning “turn”, reflects the soft, gestural movement that defines its distinct form and character.
“We’re always looking for ways to help companies create work environments where people feel good and thrive.”
Hans Bergström, CEO at Zilenzio.
As Alex Selma explains, Giro’s softly curved edges allow for compositions that feel natural and human, giving spaces a more dynamic presence. By pairing stone wool with textile and wood, Giro achieves excellent acoustic performance in a design with a sense of warmth and tactile expression, balancing technical function with emotional comfort.
Where function, design and sustainability meet
“We’re always looking for ways to help companies create work environments where people feel good and thrive. Now, we’re very excited to be able to offer Giro. It’s a perfect addition to our collection, combining multifunction, design and sustainability,” says Hans Bergström, CEO at Zilenzio.
Giro is ideal for offices, hospitality areas, lounges, schools and collaborative environments – anywhere acoustic and visual comfort are needed. With discreet casters integrated into the base, Giro moves easily to support evolving layouts and needs.
About Yonoh
Yonoh is a design studio founded in 2006 by Clara del Portillo and Alex Selma, in Valencia, Spain. Uniting their creative inquisitiveness they create work on product graphic and interior design. Yonoh works on projects that differ for their simplicity and functionality, designs that exude freshness and uniqueness.
The studio has been awarded with the most prestigious design prizes worldwide as Red Dot, IF design award, Good Design or Wallpaper* Design Award among others. Clara and Alex, industrial designer by training, developed their careers separately during years until they met on a young designers exhibition in 2004. At the end of 2006 they present their first collection as Yonoh, an ambigram that represents the bicephalus character of the company.
From 2014 they collaborate as associate teachers with the Cardenal Herrera CEU university in Valencia and give lectures and workshops around the world promoting the Yonoh way of work.
