Ever wanted to live inside a toadstool? Well the mushroom tiles from Materials Assemble bring that dream a little closer to reality.
Using sustainably grown mycelium, the foam-like material forms a selection of geometric acoustic panels in a muted set of shades. Foresta seeks to combine the aesthetics of wood and the sensation of walking through a forest with the characteristics of mycelium. The result is a multidimensional display of textured triangle modules that fit together on a timber frame in any manner of patterns.
Pluma offers a ultra-slim wall covering with panels decorated with unusual visual effects and displayed in a patchwork of tonal varieties, adding ambience and absorbing sound.
Fields mould mycelium into an unusual asymmetrical hexagon, adding visual intrigue alongside the three dimensional foamy material. Lightly decorated in ridged lines, these acoustic tiles allow for various installation designs, creating a calming, padded wall effect.
Kite allows the unique properties of mycelium to shine, with a simple square shape elevated in a geometric relief, complete with the dents and dimples natural to mycelium. This texture plays with the light, forming an additional way for the acoustic panels to interact with their environment.
Waves takes a similar approach, but opts for a slightly more organic result. Hexagonal in shape, an undulating surface adds dimension, with the uneven finish creating softness.
This range from Materials Assemble is another step in the direction towards sustainable ecoliving and we can’t wait for more.
