Crafted from an innovative combination of linen, GRS recycled plastic, and a blend of natural flowers and grass, Bloom emerges as a pioneering sound-absorbing material, opening a new chapter in Slalom's collection of thermoformed modular panels. This product highlights Slalom's commitment to sustainability, utilizing bio-based materials derived from natural origins, and underscores the importance of acoustic wellness, integrated from the early phases of collaborative architectural projects.
Adorning the wall system are grasses, petals, and vibrant flowers, transformed into a surface that seamlessly integrates into a variety of architectural projects. The ability to cover spaces from floor to ceiling without visible seams, a hallmark of Slalom products, enhances the visual impact of the floral designs, while the Velcro fastening system simplifies installation, as well as subsequent removal and reuse, if needed.

Bloom epitomizes the concept of Acousthetics, a term coined by Slalom to encapsulate the fusion of acoustic comfort, ethical considerations, and aesthetic appeal. This new wall system also reflects a burgeoning trend in interior design, drawing inspiration from the botanical world, especially the enchanting domain of herbariums. The traditional concept of pressing dried plants onto paper, a practice historically preserved in Wunderkammers or botanical garden archives, is reimagined and modernized with Bloom, particularly on a grand scale.

Bloom marries innovation with sustainability, blending GRS recycled and natural materials to create a bio-based layer that excels in both reuse potential and acoustic quality. Clever use of Velcro facilitates easy application and reapplication, ensuring longevity and adaptability. This design translates the essence of natural materials into impressive acoustic performance, achieving an NRC of 0.35.

Bloom is patent pending for the innovative thermoformation of the natural layer on the acoustic recycled fiber. Bloom proudly meets LEED and WELL building standards, and is hypoallergenic thanks to heat treatment, ensuring eco friendliness and health safety. Its design eliminates the need for additional structures or materials during application, ensuring a waste-free production process. Furthermore, it boasts a traceable supply chain, emphasizing transparency and environmental stewardship.

Slalom distinguishes itself with the production of sound-absorbing panels that utilize fabrics and plastic materials sourced from circular and recycling practices. Bloom marries Slalom’s expertise in textiles with dual ethical commitments: the recycling of plastic materials and the reutilization of bio-based materials sourced from carefully selected biological corridors. To source the natural fibers and flower petals needed for Bloom, Slalom utilizes fallow agricultural land maintained through traditional farming methods, devoid of chemical additives. https://slalom-it.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Slalom-Acoustics-Bloom.mp4
