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 developed through open material structures and natural fibres.
The surfaces include:
ESSENCE JUTE
ESSENCE COCONUT
ESSENCE WOOL
ESSENCE JUTE functions as the foundational system within our natural surface structures. Naturally dried or preserved botanical elements can be integrated as part of the material’s visual structure.
To ensure stability and long-term durability in wall applications, a minimal amount of water-based binder is used. Preserved botanical elements are stabilised using vegetable glycerin and water.
ESSENCE COCONUT is based on coconut fibres and natural latex. ESSENCE WOOL is made from upcycled coarse wool.
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.
