SURFACES
Nature-based surfaces
ESSENCE is HUBBUB’s surface system — developed from natural fibres and other nature-based materials.
Designed for integration into any acoustic platform or for independent application in architectural solutions.
Aesthetics and tactile quality are inherent to the material — not an applied layer.
MATERIAL STRUCTURE
A natural surface system
ESSENCE is a nature-based surface system developed with an open material structure based on jute fibres.
The collection includes:
ESSENCE JUTE
ESSENCE BOTANICAL MIX
ESSENCE LEAVES
ESSENCE BOTANICAL COMPOSITION · LIMITED EDITION
ESSENCE JUTE forms the foundation of the collection. Its natural fibre structure creates a refined and calm architectural surface.
In the botanical variations, naturally dried or preserved flowers, leaves and other botanical elements are integrated directly into the material structure. Each surface has its own subtle variation, while selected compositions are created individually as unique pieces.
A minimal amount of water-based binder is used to provide stability and long-term durability. Preserved botanical elements are stabilised using vegetable glycerin and water.
The surfaces can be applied independently or integrated into acoustic constructions, allowing sound absorption to become a natural part of the architecture.
AESTHETIC CHARACTER
Honest materiality
The surfaces appear tactile and well-crafted.
Colour and structure arise from the inherent character of the material — not from applied layers.
Natural variation is part of the material’s identity.
WITH OR WITHOUT ACOUSTICS
Flexible application
The surfaces can be applied:
As a standalone architectural material
Integrated into acoustic constructions
In custom-developed solutions
One material philosophy. Multiple applications.
COLLABORATION
Designed for collaboration
We work with architects, designers, and manufacturers to integrate surfaces into specific design concepts and technical solutions.
We offer customised surfaces, allowing you to create your own natural compositions using dried and preserved plants — tailored to your project.
From material selection to documented solution.
