Presented during this year\u2019s stockholm furniture fair, the BAUX acoustic pulp is a series of nine, 100% bio-based and biodegradable panels that combine high-performance properties with modern aesthetics. Developed together with swedish design studio form us with love, the panels\u2019 design draws from origami folding techniques, which help create the perfect acoustical environment.<\/p>\n
The BAUX team has developed a revolutionary new material based on over 25 years of research, working with scientists from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and a high-tech life science laboratory that works with biomimicry to organically modify cellulose fibers from recycled streams of swedish pine and spruce trees. Strong, water-repellent, and lightweight, the panel is finished with a nano-perforated surface, which allows sound waves to enter and get trapped in the honeycomb chambers on the backside\u2014utilizing technology once reserved for aircrafts and spaceships while keeping material usage to a minimum.<\/p>\n
\u2018In the face of climate change, environmental pollution, and excessive consumerism, we as an industry can no longer afford to ignore the part we play,\u2019 notes the company\u2019s CEO, Fredrik Franzon. \u2018Designing and prototyping for the future is not enough. We need to create a sustainable future today. The new BAUX acoustic pulp is the result of our deep commitment to this vision. When it became clear to us that we could organically mimic nature\u2019s own characteristics\u2014like the fire retardancy properties of grass roots, the water repellency of lotus flowers, or strength created from the catalytic combination of potatoes, plant wax and citrus fruits\u2014we knew we were onto something revolutionary.\u2019<\/p>\n
Instead of paint, the acoustic pulp is colored with non-GMO wheat bran, since \u2018adding paint would have compromised our vision of creating a 100% bio-based product,\u2019 as John Lo\u0308fgren, creative director at form us with love explains. \u2018Using different percentages of wheat bran, BAUX acoustic pulp comes to life with character and color, without using any chemicals at all.\u2019<\/p>\n
