ESSENCE

Natural surfaces that speak to all senses


Our acoustic PANEL ZERO series can now be experienced with ESSENCE surfaces – a collection created from nature’s own materials.

Each surface carries its own expression, texture and story: From upcycled coarse and fine wool, to the raw structure of coconut, the honest simplicity of pure jute – and the poetic sensibility of flowers, leaves, stems, and fragrance.

With ESSENCE, we bring the diversity of nature indoors, so acoustics can not only be heard, but also seen, felt and perceived.

ESSENCE UPCYCLED WOOL, A SUSTAINABLE AND UNDERUTILIZED RESOURCE

UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL OF COARSE WOOL IN INDIA

Sheep

Wool is a renewable resource, harvested annually through shearing without harming the sheep. It is biodegradable, minimizing environmen-tal impact at the end of its lifecycle. India holds the third position in sheep population with 45 unique sheep breeds spread across several locations with 74,26 million sheep’s with annual wool production of roughly 50 million kg in 2022-23. Wool garment and carpet industry employs 25 million people across India. 10% or 5 million kg of the wool production accounts for coarse wool which is underutilized and mostly ends up in land fill or burned.

Wool typically has a higher ignition temperature compared to synthetic materials, making it inherently fire-resistant with an auto ignition temperature of 600° C, which is about twice as high as wood’s ignition temperature of 270° C. Wool fibers have inherent moisture-wicking properties, absorbing and releasing moisture vapor from the air without compromising acoustic performance. This helps maintain optimal indoor humidity levels and prevents mold and mildew growth.

We use coarse wool, normally discarded as waste from wool processing facilities, for the surface ESSENCE UPCYCLED WOOL. In this way, we create new jobs while producing our sustainable and biodegradable PANEL ZERO.

We started up our partnership with BWF Feltec in 2025. From the first day we were very impressed by the quality and flexibility of their products and the way they operate their business.

In 2021, the BWF Group, a family run mid-sized group of companies in its fifth generation, celebrated its 125th anniversary. They began producing wool felt in 1902 at their headquarters in Offingen (Bavaria). Our partner BWF Group look constantly to strike the ideal balance between tradition and modernity.

ESSENCE FINE WOOL is produced with fine wool and are tested for harmful substances according to Oeko-Tex Standard 100.

ESSENCE COCO, UPCYCLED COCONUT FIBERS FROM INDIA

A SUSTAINABLE RESOURCE WITH UNTAPPED POTENTIAL

Placeholder for top image

Coconut plays a significant role in the economy of tropical and subtropical countries. In India, apart from being a rich source of raw mate rial for a variety of products, it is a symbol of prosperity linked with religion and social activities. India produces about 17% of the world’s coconut production. Coconuts are mostly deshusked at the farm level, and further shipped to factories for processing and 28% of coconut husks are recovered for fiber extraction. The coconut fiber industry employs 0,7 million workers mostly in the rural areas and women accounts for 70% of the workforce.

Coconut fibers is an organic naturally occurring fiber derived from the renewable source of coconut husk. Coconut fibers resembles wood in terms of physical properties and chemical composition. Coconut trees can grow more than 20 meters high and upon maturity coconut fruit falls off the tree, the thick blanket of coconut fibers forming the husk of coconut prevents the fruit from breaking apart.

Coconut fibers in itself does not offer significant acoustic advantages, but it provides a protective surface layer while adding a rustic charm to PANEL ZERO. This sustainable alternative seamlessly combines aesthetics with functionality.

WE ARE HUBBUB

In the summer of 2023 Peter Dagø, Philip Kruse, Henrik Pedersen, Niels Peter Andersen and Lars Andersen set out to revolutionize the world of acoustic materials and technologies. Their shared mission was to create a global acoustic brand dedicated to improving conditions for people around the world. Later, Vivek Kollamkulankara Vasudevan and Thomas Snaidero joined the team. Since then, we have been collaborating in our innovation HUBBUB Lab, working alongside our partners in India, Germany, Italy and Austria to explore new materials for acoustic panels and sound technologies.
