An acoustic revolution
BAUX Acoustic Pulp
The 100% bio-based BAUX Acoustic Pulp panel is the first in the world to uncompromisingly combine the performance properties of sound absorption, safety and durability with sustainability and modern aesthetics. Harmless for us, harmless for the environment. It’s nothing short of an acoustical revolution.
Design: Form Us With Love
BAUX Acoustic Pulp
Over the past century, fossil based materials have become the norm and standard for acoustical products in the interior design and building industries. It’s time for a new kind of material. One that breaks the mold and pushes us beyond what the world believes is possible for sustainability in acoustical products.
The ingredients:
BAUX Acoustic Pulp is made out of sustainably harvested Swedish fir and pine trees. Recycled water. Non-GMO wheat bran. Potato starch. Plant-derived wax. Citrus fruit peels. Zero chemicals.
Laser engineered sound-absorption
The dried surface is then nano-perforated using an advanced laser technique for enhanced sound absorption.
Three shapes in three different colors. All derived from wheat.
Adding paint would have compromised our vision of creating a 100% bio-based product. Instead, with BAUX Acoustic Pulp, color is achieved using different percentages of wheat bran—0, 5 and 30%. Together with the three origami patterns, there are nine color-pattern combinations and endless possibilities for mixing, matching and harmonizing with different space designs. The final effect is an organic expression of character and color, without any chemicals at all.

This patented, 100% bio-based material pushes the acoustic properties of cellulosic materials to a new level.
To achieve extra sound absorption and durability, while maintaining a lightweight product with minimal material usage, we borrowed the hexagonal honeycomb structure originally invented by bees and popularly used by the aerospace industry

We knew we could put the BAUX Acoustic Pulp back into nature again without causing any harm. But still, we were curious—would Nature accept it back?
