Functional Design From Havwoods
As the latest Houzz UK Emerging Trends Report reveals, functional design is now more important than ever before. Havwoods’ acoustic panels from the Hushwood range are at the forefront of this trend, with a collection of timber panels that blend natural aesthetics with advanced acoustic functionality.
Havwoods’ Hushwood Flute panels are designed to reduce echo and soften acoustics, promoting both well-being and physical comfort. Featuring a fluted batten design made from real wood veneers with a PET-backed mineral felt substructure, these panels enhance both hearing and visual environments.
Beyond their acoustic benefits, the panels offer a refined aesthetic. The uniform linear grooves create visual depth and rhythm, adding a tactile, sculptural element to any space. Available in nine finishes including Natural Oak, Walnut, Charcoal and Forest Green, the range caters to a variety of design preferences while maintaining a contemporary yet timeless appeal.
