Elias Kalliola Acoustic art panel Karhu kesäaamuna

Bear in the gold of the sun

"5 am when the sun had just risen above the treeline and first rays of light touched the ground, this bear walked towards my hideout through cottongrass filled swamp. Air was still humid after a warm night, and the way light glimmered through it made this moment just magical." Wild animals are a fascinating part of Finnish nature, especially the bear as Finland's national animal. Many of us never see wild animals in the wild, but Elias has managed to capture the bear in the beautiful sunlight of a summer morning.

You can share this experience by getting a SUO acoustics panel printed with Elias Kalliolla's art photo. With SUO acoustics boards you can improve the sound absorption of the surfaces of the space in an easy way. At the same time, you will get natural revitalizing energy and beauty indoors. 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 picture on the acoustic board is taken by Elias Kalliola, whose pictures from Finnish nature are really inspiring. Have a look also at his other pictures in our selection!
