russian design studio aotta presents new sound-absorbing, lightweight organic material — the new panels are made of hemp husks, which are usually disposed of like a useless waste. formed by peeling whole seeds, the husks are a biodegradable and cheap resource.
hemp panels are in harmony with concrete
aotta’s hemp husk panels are a natural porous membrane that absorbs sound reflections, regulates the humidity and temperature in the interiors, creating a comfortable and healthy space. the designers preserve the shape of the original natural raw material, creating a unique surface pattern with an unusual visual and tactile effect. the composition of the binder provides 100% biodegradability of panels, but it is sufficiently stable for long-term use inside the interiors. the panels are non-flammable and have antifungal properties.
the material has a coarse, porous texture
