# Fashionably Patterned Acoustic Panels Acoustic Panels by Baux Are Practical and Attractive By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-02-11 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoustic-panels References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/these-modular-panels-absorb-sound-regulate-heat-and-l-1517831832) & [baux.se](http://www.baux.se/traullit-woodwool/) A lot of the time, acoustic panels are made to be strictly functional and not all that aesthetically pleasing, but [Baux](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-acoustic) brings beauty and function to its designs. The [modular system of panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harp-system) is made up of wood wool, cement and water, which makes them environmentally-friendly and recyclable. The makeup of the acoustic panels also brings a resistance to moisture, fire and also helps to regulate temperatures as well as sound. The many colors and shapes in the Baux Traüllit Spring 2014 collection make it possible to create an endless number of design options that range from subdued, uniform and neutral to vibrant and pattern-heavy on the other end of the spectrum. Baux even has a handy downloadable toolkit on its site for designers to play around with the possibilities. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Environmentally-friendly Acoustic Panels:** The use of wood wool, cement, and water in acoustic panels presents an opportunity for environmentally-conscious consumers and businesses. - **Functional and Aesthetic Acoustic Designs:** Baux's combination of beauty and function in their acoustic panels taps into a growing demand for visually appealing yet practical solutions. - **Customizable Acoustic Panel Options:** The wide range of colors and shapes in Baux's collection provides businesses with the ability to create unique and personalized acoustic designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Interior Design:** The aesthetically pleasing and customizable acoustic panels from Baux can be incorporated into interior design projects. - **Architecture:** Architects can leverage Baux's functional and environmentally-friendly acoustic panels to enhance the acoustic properties of buildings. - **Event Planning:** Event planners can utilize Baux's customizable acoustic panels to create visually striking and acoustically optimized event spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pastel Tonal Acoustic Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-acoustic.md) - [Textured Sound Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emma-hayes.md) - [Easy-to-Install Acoustic Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cube-acoustic-panel.md) - [Wool Office Soundscape Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abstracta.md) - [Geometric Sound-Dampening Wall Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoustic-compositions.md) - [Acoustic Optimization Office Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kirei-air-baffle.md) - [Dimensional Linear Acoustic Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanes-acoustic-system.md) - [Artistic Acoustic Optimization Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoustic-treatment-panels.md) - [Premium Printed Acoustic Felt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3form-elements.md)
