Bringing the forest into interiors

    Designers from Aotta Studio – Tanya Repina, Misha Repin and Alexander Bolma – have created a new acoustic material based on spruce needles.

    The panels are a natural porous material that absorbs sound reflections, regulates humidity and temperature, which creates a comfortable and healthy atmosphere. The peculiarity of the material is the preservation of the original shape of the needles; it gives a natural texture and a feeling of forest in the interior.

    The production of materials is based on the principles of sustainable development and respect for the environment. Aotta only uses needles from renewable forests, during industrial logging, raw materials for the products are unused natural resources.

    The panels are made only from natural ingredients. Pine needles complement the composition of natural binder and eco-friendly flame retardant.

    The material helps to create a healthy space in the interior. Needles contain natural terpenoid compounds that have a beneficial effect on the human body and improve wellbeing.

    Tanya says: “By creating acoustic material from needles, we thought about the future, about the truly harmless process of the entire production, using unjustly utilised components of nature. We dreamed of a fabulous texture and a diverse palette of forms, of creating a forest spirit in the interior. This has become a reality, and we strive to further develop a new look at production, creating a sustainable process and diverse design.”
