Case

Framed Akupanel slat artwork with vertical and diagonal slats on a stairwell wall beside a window in a Dubai home

How Lex used Akupanel three ways in one Dubai home

Designer Lex framed Akupanel like a painting on a stairwell, ran Rustic Grey Oak across a small bedroom wall and turned the offcuts into a grille that hides the AC.

A Cannes rooftop terrace clad in Aluwood after dark, lit from the slats themselves.

A rooftop in Cannes

A flat concrete roof above Cannes sat unused for years. Now Aluwood wraps the parapet, the screen and the outdoor kitchen, and after dark the slats themselves light the terrace.

Black slatted wall under a red tile roof, closed, behind an outdoor kitchen with a sink, two pendant lamps and a black grill on a wet wooden deck

The wall that opens: where a whole terrace hides its clutter

One black wall on this terrace slides open to shelves of towels, linen and a folding chair, then closes back into a single calm surface behind the outdoor kitchen.

Lovestick

At home with Lovestick, drummer in Lukas Graham: Smoked Oak Akupanels in the hallway, and a 70s-style studio where the panels took the reverb out of the recordings.

How a Simple Idea Became a Design Revolution

A vertical Akupanel wall with nowhere to hang a shelf led designer Martin Sonne to Create: accessories that hang shelves, hooks and more on the slats, without drilling.

Melissa

We visited Melissa in the home she and her husband built from the ground up, where Classic Oak acoustic panels ended the echo in a large kitchen and dining area.

Conference room 8-kanten

Conference room 8-kanten seats hundreds in front of one big screen, and over 500 Akupanels on its walls and ceilings keep the sound in check and the atmosphere inviting.

Suzan

We visited Suzan to see her living room feature wall, where Rustic Brown Oak Akupanels add warmth and texture against white walls and a palette of deep greens and blues.

Annemiek

In Hoofddorp, Annemiek gave her home's farm-like features a modern twist, with Walnut and Classic Oak Akupanels running from her bedroom to a tall stairwell.

Stine Brorsen

We visited Stine in the stylish apartment she shares with Martin, where Classic Oak acoustic panels turned a bare white bedroom into a room she loves.

Annica Norman

We visited Annica and Björn, who mounted Classic Oak Akupanels themselves and turned a noisy home with three children into a calmer one that brings the outdoors in.

Louise Bäckström

High ceilings and concrete floors gave Louise's family home in Gävle a sound problem. Akupanels, stacked two high, cut the echo and made the home feel warmer and calmer.

Mathilda Stjernfelt

We visited Mathilda Stjernfelt in her newly built, minimalist home, where Walnut Akupanels added warmth and made hosting dinners in the kitchen much quieter.

PM Skrueteknik

Next to the fields in Østbirk, Denmark, PM Skrueteknik's long, low building is clad in warm brown Aluwood, cut to follow every slope of the roof.

Ken Reichel - Aluwood Garage

A garage is often the first thing you see of a house. Ken Reichel made his part of the design: Black Aluwood slats against a crisp white house.

Lemvig Aluwood Project

On high ground above the water in Lemvig, Denmark, this house gets the weather first. Oiled Brown Aluwood and black trim give it a warm face, even on the grayest day.

Martin - Garden Shed

On a brand-new plot, Martin's garden shed started as a bare frame of battens. A local carpenter clad it in warm brown Aluwood, and now it looks planned from the start.

Jan Hansen Transport

For a transport company, the building is the business card. Jan Hansen Transport gave its office a warm Aluwood face you can see from across the fields.
