Cecilie Manz Designs Tofu Acoustic Tiles from Recycled Cotton for Impact Acoustic

Summary

Designer Cecilie Manz collaborates with Swiss brand Impact Acoustic to create Tofu tiles, an acoustic wall cladding system made from recycled cotton. The tiles use Impact Acoustic's renewable Archisonic Cotton material, which incorporates sustainably sourced cotton linters - a byproduct of the textile industry that would normally be discarded. The material is mixed with kaolin and natural mineral pigments to create pale, tactile tiles with acoustic properties.
