Characteristic wood

Red heart beech is incredibly characteristic and a delight for the eyes. Even more so, our red heart beech has been through a life cycle or two and this has further added to the wood's lively appearance. Read more in the Materials section!

Approach

Origin

Kiø framed acoustic panels are made out of repurposed textile felt and upcycled discarded wood from a major Danish contractor. The textile felt used for Kiø is produced from worn-out workwear that can no longer be used for clothing or in other secondary clothing production. We have developed a method of sorting, where we acquire pure, clean fractions, which ensures the high quality of the end product. After sorting, the fabric is shredded; going from a woven material to becoming small, short fibers. The fibers are mixed with binders and a fire retardant. Finally, the materials are felted together into non-woven acoustic batts.
