Acoustic solutions that are not only beautiful and functional, but also environmentally friendly.
Different in tactility to any other acoustic on the market makes this Archisonic Cotton stand out already. With it’s sense of earth and nature and makes us feel like papier-marche we worked with at school at age 7. Besides of the acoustic properties you can bring this material back to factory and remake it into mew pieces. Closing the loops.
Where plastic materials have a limited possibilities for recycling the Archisonic Cotton is compostable.
Tiles comes in sizes of 300x 600mm and are available in 24 earth tones. You can mix colors as well patterns from vertical, horizontal diagonal.
So what is it and how is it made?
ARCHISONIC® Cotton harnesses the potential of cotton cellulose, a by-product of the cotton industry that would otherwise go to waste, along with other natural materials, without the use of harmful synthetic binders and chemicals. This approach not only reuses what would otherwise be discarded and often burned on the landfill, it also promotes a healthier indoor environment.
