Annastiina Mäkitalo Acoustic art panel Kotimetsä blanco

Kotimetsä reminds of cHILDHOOD games in the forest

Do you remember when you spent hours in the forest collecting all kinds of nice little things as a child? Cones, leaves, flowers, needles and moss. Cities and homes were built from them and they played an important role in trading games. Probably you can figure out familiar shapes in the Kotimetsä board, which bring to mind a warm thouhgt of childhood memories.

You can still experience the connection to Finland's beautiful nature and childhood playgrounds by purchasing the SUO  acoustic board illustrated by Annastiina Mäkitalo. With SUO acoustics acoustic panels, you can improve the sound absorption of the room's surfaces in an easy way. At the same time, you get high-quality art and its revitalizing power for interiors. Acoustic art panels are suitable for many kinds of objects. With these, you will improve the soundscape at home, at school, in the office and in public spaces.

SUO acoustics artworks are printed on ecological acoustic boards made in Finland. You can choose the material between two options: Konto acoustic boards with Finnish peat material or Vaimee Based panels made from recycled drinking bottles.

Konto acoustic board has a natural and lively feeling. The image is repeated on the board a little softer and the colour is paler, but very beautiful and artistic. The surface of the plate is relatively soft, so it can’t be handled hard.

Vaimee Based is an acoustic panel with an uniform quality surface. It ensures the sharpness of the printed image and high-quality colour preservation. The surface of the plate is very durable. 

The acoustic board is illustrated by Master of Arts Annastiina Mäkitalo, who  is known as a talented illustrator of children's picture books and as a pattern designer. We recommend you to check out all of Annastiina's illustrations in our selection!
