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 structural material logic
ESSENCE is a nature-based surface system based on natural fibres and other natural materials.
The surfaces include:
ESSENCE MATERIAL
ESSENCE COMPOSITION FLOW
ESSENCE COMPOSITION FIELD
ESSENCE COMPOSITION LINES
ESSENCE COCONUT NATURAL is based on coconut fibres and natural latex. ESSENCE WOOL BLEACHED / BLACK is made from upcycled coarse wool.
The remaining surfaces consist of naturally dried or preserved plants on a jute fleece made from jute fibres. To ensure stability and long lifespan when applied to walls, a minimal amount of water-based binder is used. Preserved plants are treated with vegetable glycerin (derived from plant oils) and water.
The surfaces can be applied independently or integrated into acoustic constructions — including in combination with the acoustic core PANEL ZERO.
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.
