BAUX teams up with Form Us With Love to unveil new collection of circular acoustic panels and tiles 

Presented earlier this year, X-FELT is a new collection of high-performance acoustic panels and tiles finding its inspiration in Japanese Zen gardens

Jonas Pettersson and John Löfgren of Form Us With Love (FUWL) first planted the seeds of Swedish acoustics brand BAUX back in 2013, when the team relocated to a new, open-plan space in Stockholm. The studio suffered from poor acoustics, so FUWL got to work and created their now legendary Wood Wool acoustic panels, comprising a durable, recyclable material made from carbon-neutral wood wool, or shredded timber, cement and water.

Fast forward to 2025, and BAUX has unveiled its latest innovation. Named X-FELT, the firm’s newest collection of high-performance acoustics panels and tiles, is designed to resemble the serenity of karesansui, Japanese rock gardens, founded on Zen ideology. X-FELT, which the Swedish firm describes as an example of “zenseful acoustics” draws inspiration from the balance, simplicity and harmony of these dry landscapes, where water surfaces and wave motions are expressed through gentle sand patterns called samon.

Made from ultra-fine polyester fibers, sourced from GRS-certified PET that eliminate the need for harmful fire-retardant treatments, the panels and tiles allow designers to mix and match patterns across walls and ceilings. Available in a versatile palette of solid and duo-tone colours, X-FELT is designed to promote feelings of calm and mindfulness in workspaces, hotel lobbies and beyond by transforming interiors into sound-softening works of art.

Lightweight yet large-format, X-FELT is as functional as it is visually striking. With over a decade of innovation behind them, BAUX continues to set the standard for planet friendly, design-led acoustic solutions, where sound and style work in perfect harmony. baux.com
