Kiø framed acoustic panels are made out of repurposed textile felt and upcycled discarded wood from a major Danish manufacturer. 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.

We take our Douglas Fir wood from a Danish wood manufacturer. The wood was discarded because of knots and cracks
2 Milling
The wood is then processed at Overgaard Wood, in Fredericia. Here the wood is first rough cut for production
3 Profiling
We seek to minimise the number of different profiles so that our manufacturing is agile. Furthermore, we always cut profiles that are optimised to the material
4 Manufacturing
The Douglas Fir is turned into one of our final products. For example our Kiø Douglas panels

Explore our four Nærø batt colour options for Kiø Douglas. They are varying shades of grey, blue and white, which are determined by the clothes it is produced from. We can never ensure an exact repetition of a specific nuance, from batch to batch, since our input material will always vary slightly. However, this just means that your batch is unique to your project!

Black Coffee
Enjoy a luxurious, deep colour profile in our ‘Black Coffee’ wax, which will lift any room to one fit for the director. With the wood grain teetering between black and dark brown, it is a finish you will not get tired of any time soon.
Deep Sea
For those more adventurous our signature ‘Deep Sea’ blue wax will leave the wood with a fresh, yet rich blue look. Packed will colourful surprise, it a daring, yet stylish finish.
Nude
Like your honest, pure wood? Try our ‘Nude’ wax, which will appear invisible, but protect the product nonetheless, leaving you with an evergreen, classic wooden look.
Note: These renders are only indicative. We are still toning our wax. Furthermore, we always suggest seeing a colour sample before ordering.

What is Kiø made of and how do you source it? How much of the material is waste based?
Kiø is made from either discarded Douglas fir from a leading Danish wood manufacturer or red heart beech from discarded wooden dunnages. The Douglas fir originates in Germany and the red heart beech is treated in a French sawmill and is IPPC-certified packaging wood. The back panel is made from offcut plywood and the textile batt is at least 60% waste based. The acoustic Nærø batt that comes with it is made of worn-out textiles from a major workwear and textile maintenance company.
Does Kiø contain any hazardous substances?
No, the materials from Kiø enter our manufacturing line clean and we only treat the wood with a waterborne wax or waterborne lacquer. The textile is bound by a PET binder, which does not evaporate.
What is most important for a good end result?
The subfloor must be clean and dry and must not deviate more than 2 mm over a 2-meter straight surface.
The subfloor should be tested with a pull-off adhesion test. We recommend a test result a of minimum 2,0 MPa
Make moisture measurements in the room and in the subfloor.
See the installations sheet for more information on how to mount the floor.
Where and how is Kiø manufactured?
The material is sawn, planed, and cut to length at our partner Overgaard Wood in Fredericia. The panel is then joined together with soft nails and a regular one-component waterborne PVAc wood glue.
What surface treatment is required after mounting?
The end grain brick needs sanding and a surface treatment. See the specification from the manufacturer of the surface treatment.
Is the material recyclable?
Yes, the wood can be sorted as ‘Wood’ and the textile batt as Textile’ at a recycling station. We also offer take-back services for reuse or remanufacturing into as-new products.
Can I order a different size or colour of Kiø than your standard variants?
For larger projects, such as a whole office building or an entire floor, we can have new colours developed. For smaller projects, we don’t offer treatments outside of our standard assortment. We do not offer Kiø in other sizes.
How can I adjust or alter Kiø post-purchase?
We do not encourage altering the panel itself. The whole panel can be adjusted vertically by about 1 cm with the fittings provided, making mounting easier. Furthermore, the panel is adjustable horizontally by sliding the panel across the fittings. The wood can be treated like any other wooden product. It can be repainted, stripped, sawn, planed, etc.
How should I handle the Kiø panel to not damage it?
To be certain that the surface treatment is not damaged unnecessarily, do not take the panel out of its original packaging prior to the moment you need to install it. If you do need to check the quality of the panels or have concerns over the finish, be sure to handle it with care; if you need to re-package the material. The wax finish is very sturdy, but ultimately not completely resistant to scratching.
