BAUX Acoustic Pulp is 100% bio-based and respectfully sourced from nature. The material is generated by modifying cellulosic fibers in a way that drastically moves the boundaries of cellulosic material properties to a completely new level. It’s harmless for us, it’s harmless for the environment. All harmful chemicals have been replaced with nature’s own magic.

Research:
BAUX Acoustic Pulp is the result of more than 25 years of biomimicry focused research and development. Biomimicry is a design approach that seeks sustainable solutions based on the idea that the answers already reside within nature itself. The research for our particular product comes from the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden.
Design:
Carefully designed by Form Us With Love. Inspired by the Origami folding technique. To further amplify strength we looked to bees and the aerospace industry. The backside of the BAUX Acoustic Pulp panels have been carefully designed using a honeycomb structure, often found inside the wings of aircrafts and spaceships. The honeycomb structure allows us to minimise of the amount of material used without compromising the product’s strength.
Sound absorption:
Performance testing indicates that BAUX Acoustic Pulp has excellent absorptive qualities, making it well suited for spaces that can benefit from a more restful and focused acoustical environment. A triad of sound absorption mechanisms are used: diffusion, absorption, and chambers. The irregular 3D shaped surface breaks up reflections and spreads them in different directions. The cellulosic material fibers transform sound waves into micro movement and heat. And the honeycomb chambers trap sound waves entering through the perforated surface which bounce around and “die out.”
