Søuld’s eelgrass products originate from the sea — a place you are never far from in Søuld’s native Denmark. The organic material embodies the same sense of calm provided by the sea and when taken indoors, it imbues living spaces with a restorative connection to nature.
Made from eelgrass — a natural and carbon-binding material — Søuld’s acoustics panels enhance the sensory experience of interior wall and ceiling cladding whilst providing exceptional acoustic performance, health and well-being benefits.
ENGINEERED EELGRASS — The raw material is collected by Danish farmers and engineered by Søuld into acoustic products that offer exceptional results within indoor environments including restful acoustics, thermal comfort, air humidity stabilization as well as an appealing aesthetic expression.
The products are approved for safety indoors with high fire resistance and low emissions—ultimately creating healthy interior atmospheres that support mental and physical well-being. The natural beauty of the eelgrass forges a serene connection to nature indoors and invites a sense of calm and comfort. The material is resilient yet soft to touch—imparting texture, warmth, and a subtle scent that recalls the sea.
Søuld’s acoustic panels represent an alternative to help architects, designers and builders reduce the environmental impact of construction. Søuld’s engineering of the carbon-binding eelgrass fibres results in building materials that act as a carbon storage by locking carbon in the material over the building’s lifetime. Søuld’s products are responsibly produced in Denmark and designed to be be fully circular with focus on environmental impact.
With their simple, modern aesthetics, Søuld’s products are proportioned for easy interior application and are fully customisable to suit residential or commercial spaces of all natures and scales. The acoustic panels are convenient and easy to install and their high quality provides lasting comfort.
KEY PROPERTIES
1. SOUND ABSORBING — As a result of the material’s porous structure, Søuld’s Acoustic Panels deliver an exceptional sound absorption across a wide range of frequencies. By heavily dampening noise, Søuld’s products help to create restful and productive atmospheres within residential, industrial and public spaces, contributing to human health and well-being.
2. FIRE PROOFING — Søuld’s Acoustic Panels are crafted from eelgrass which is naturally impregnated with minerals to result in products with an imbedded fire protection. For increased performance, Søuld combines the eelgrass with a flame-retardant.
3. CARBON STORING — Søuld is made from a sea plant that reproduces itself annually, washes ashore during autumn storms and is dried on nearby fields by the sun and wind. Eelgrass binds large amounts of carbon during its growth and if left to decompose, it would release CO₂ back into the atmosphere. By safely storing this carbon in durable building materials, Søuld’s products serve as carbon storage. Our certified EPD confirms there is more CO₂-eq bound in eelgrass than what is emitted during Søuld’s production of the final product (A1-A3).
4.ROBUST & DURABLE — Søuld's Acoustic Panels are robust and durable. The plants' growth in salt water adds a natural impregnation to the fibres which impede the growth of mould and bacteria. This enables a long product lifetime and contributes to a healthy indoor climate.
5.MOISTURE REGULATING — Søuld products act as an effective humidity regulator. They absorb excess indoor humidity and release it when the humidity levels drop, thus maintaining an optimal level. This natural humidity control contributes to a pleasant indoor climate that promotes comfort and health.
6.LOW-EMISSION — The emissions from Søuld’s products are extremely low (Cradle to Cradle certified - Platin level in Material Health). This contributes to improved indoor air quality that supports health and well-being. Additionally, our products are classified as low dust emitting, making them well-suited for sensitive environments.
7.NATURAL CHARACTER — Humans, climate and nature are inseparable and natural materials allow us to slow down and feel at ease. Søuld brings an honest expression of nature inside, imparting warmth and a sense of pre-industrial humanity. As eelgrass is a living material, unique tonal variations are seen each season from muted greens to warm browns. Watch the expression shift as light and weather conditions change and colours take on more character as a subtle patina emerges over time.
8.FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS — Søuld is characterised by tactility and simple design solutions that seamlessly integrate with many contexts and needs. The material is heat pressed into flat, uniform mats allowing the products to be cut in various shapes and sizes, making design customisations easy. The products are simple to install using adhesive or screws, and they are scalable to suit interiors of any size.
