It´s a combined absorber/diffuser. The panels does an excellent jobb at mid/higher frequencies (not to effective on bass I´m afraid since they are not that thick, 5-6 cm). I had a big problem with reflections in my room before, and those panels are making quite a difference.
I´ve tried to make those as discrete as possible, and also portable.
The build is quite easy but the holes (I think there are about 1000 holes/panel) was quite a pain to drill
I´ve built these with instructions from a Swedish site, but found an english site that seems to be equivalent:

I am not likely to post a picture of my whole system since I am not a very "visual" person and my listening room is a mess...

Wouldn't mind the Swedish site. Looks time consuming, how long time did you spend on it and what shops in Sweden did you buy the materials?

In this thread there´s a list of the materials needed. I bought the materials at a local hardware store (Byggmax).
The build is quite easy. The most time consuming bit is the drilling of the holes. I made 4 panels so I drilled through 4 plywood panels at the same time, saving me some work. It is critical with a good drill though.
I also made a panel (with Marimekko fabric) to hang on the wall with LED-light (see attached link). It´s hard to see the effect, standing on the floor. But it really gave a nice effect hanging on the wall especially in the evenings. To bad, I haven´t got the space for it anymore.

A few changes, system now consists of:
Raidho X-1 Velodyne DD10+
Devialet 400 Squeezebox Touch (Bolder Cable Digital modd) Booster linear power supply to Touch
Tellurium ultra black speaker cables Audioprana RCA-XLR Master slave link Audioquest Eagle eye From Touch to Devialet Lessloss DFPC Reference power cables
Biggest change is of course the speakers. Even though I first was very satisfied with the Diablos, in the end they where not for me I guess.
So far very happy with the Raidhos. For my taste, the Raidho/Devialet is a great match! The X-1 plays with a great soundstage but do (by the laws
of physics) lacs some punch in the bass, even though they actually play pretty deep for such a small speaker.
At first I did not have any plains of using a subwoofer but as I got the chance for a great deal on a DD10+ I thought why not
give it a go, now I am addicted to it! The DD10+ has an auto calibrate feature which works just fine for me, surely there is some to be gained by a
manual setup but I´m very happy as it is. The subwoofer just blends in with the X-1. Sometimes I get to wonder if it´s not on but as soon as I power it off, the difference is significant. The Devialet really is great for this as you can both use a high- and lowpass filter for your speakers/sub and even use these with SAM activated.
My ordinary streamer is a Squeezebox Touch, but I have been trying Roon now on trial period. Roon is installed on a Mac mini and it feeds the Devialet with
a Totaldac D1 USB cable. I must say that Roon really is a great software, I use an Ipad for remote and it works flawless. The integration with Tidal is top notch.
I think Roon will replace my trusty SB Touch which has served me well for many years.

I see you've got the X1's set up wider and with more toe in than you had the Diablos. Can you please tell us what the reason for that was?
