Collaboration
We collaborate with architects, designers and manufacturers to integrate ESSENCE into products, systems and architectural solutions.
From the first material idea to a finished and documented solution.
Our role
Material specialist and development partner
HUBBUB develops natural surfaces and helps integrate them into architecture, products and technical systems.
HUBBUB CONTRIBUTES WITH
Development and supply of natural surfaces
Material and application development
Technical integration
Prototype development and testing
Documentation of fire and acoustic performance
Access to relevant production and development partners through our network
We do not act as a full-system supplier, but as a specialised material partner. Our focus is on developing, supplying and documenting materials that can be integrated into both existing and new solutions.
With ESSENCE, we work with architects, designers and manufacturers to create new applications for natural materials – from acoustic systems to walls, ceilings, furniture and bespoke solutions.
We can become involved early in the development process and follow the material from the initial idea and prototype through testing and documentation to implementation in the finished product or project.
From material to documented application.
COLLABORATION PROCESS
From idea to documented solution
A collaboration may include:
Material selection, design and technical consultation
Material and application development
Integration with existing products and systems
Prototype development
Acoustic evaluation and calculations
Testing and documentation
We work on a project basis, adapting ESSENCE to the specific application and technical requirements.
Our involvement can range from material supply and technical support to the development and documentation of a complete application.
From first idea to implementation.
WHO WE COLLABORATE WITH
Architecture, design and manufacturing
We collaborate with:
Acoustic product manufacturers
Architects and interior architects
Building product and system manufacturers
Furniture and interior manufacturers
Designers
Development partners
A particular focus is collaboration with acoustic manufacturers, integrating ESSENCE as a natural surface into existing and new acoustic products and systems.
This allows the acoustic system to provide the performance, while ESSENCE provides the material expression – supported by testing and documentation of the complete application.
Our aim is to create solutions where natural surfaces become an integrated part of architecture, without being defined by their function.
TECHNICAL DIALOGUE
Documentation for the specific application
Technical documentation, test data and relevant environmental information are available for ESSENCE and its documented applications.
For new substrates, products or systems, we work with our partners to evaluate the application and identify any additional testing or documentation required.
We are available for technical clarification and project-specific consultation.
Material freedom. Documented performance.

EXPERIENCE ESSENCE
Materials need to be experienced.
We are currently creating a new ESSENCE Material Collection featuring a selection of our natural surfaces, fibres, colours and botanical variations.
The collection is designed for architects, designers and manufacturers who want to experience the texture, colour and tactile qualities of the materials first-hand.
Order the new ESSENCE Material Collection now – and we will send it to you as soon as it is ready.
