SILÊNCIO - acoustic panels

The message of the project

SILÊNCIO are acoustic panels that combine the versatility of banana fibre - light, flexible and durable - with the expertise of Sound Hub Denmark's experienced acoustic engineers. 

By partnering with Gran Canaria-based artisan Pilar Ureña, we've ensured that each panel is a unique work of art that pays homage to local craft traditions. Acoustically, SILÊNCIO absorbers and diffusers meet the highest industry standards and are co-developed and tested by experienced engineers at Sound Hub Denmark.

The idea behind the project

SILÊNCIO are not only an elegant acoustic solution, but come to join the product family of MAPU SPEAKERS -the world's first sound system handcrafted of clay, wood and wool-.

They promote a circular economy and sustainable production and consumption, support the reinvention of craftsmanship, and pay tribute to their place of origin, with the ultimate aim of promoting a triple sustainable impact: environmental, social and cultural.

What next?

As Documentary Design, we are passionate about creating innovative, sustainable products that are inspired by the materiality and identity of the regions in which we work. Our vision is to bridge craftsmanship and cultural heritage with technology, redesigning production processes and championing organic, low-impact materials.
