FROM NATURE TO YOUR HOME
SUSTAINABLE & SOUND ABSORBING
​
Myamo is a sustainable, efficient, modular acoustic panel for indoor use that is created in a growth process based on mycelium, the underground root structure of mushrooms in combination with agricultural waste.
AESTETHIC
Inspired by cell structures in nature, the parametric design produces an interesting aesthetic and harmonic surface offering a wide range of design possibilities.
THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Mycelium Substrate
Mycelium is the root network of fungi.
Mycelium material is a sustainable composite material composed of agricultural by-products such as straw.
Forming
The material is crumbled and poured into a mold and stored for a few days.
Growing
​Unlike conventional materials, production is characterised by a growth process in which the mycelium breaks down organic material by absorbing nutrients and spreading into roots that serve as binders.
Drying
After one week, the panel is removed from the mold and undergoes a drying process. The fungus stops growing from here on and our panel has taken on the natural white colour of the mycelium.
