Russian design studio Aotta has developed a range of eco-friendly, sound-absorbing panels made from the waste products of hemp seeds.
Made from the seed husks, which form when the seed is peeled and are usually discarded, the panels are designed to maintain 'healthy spaces' and consist of hemp husks fashioned into a natural porous membrane that absorbs sound and regulates temperature and humidity levels.
The shape of the husk is preserved to create a unique and visually-interesting, tactile panel that is 100 per cent biodegradable, whilst being strong enough for long term use.
In addition, the panels are non-flammable and have anti-fungal properties.
