Form At Wood Designer Mapao Series – Shima (LM01) – Wooden Decorative Panel

Form At Wood Decorative Mapao Collection: Shima (LM01) – Wooden Decorative Panel

Audio Experience is offering these non acoustically effective decorative wooden panels because there are installations where the design language must remain consistent, but using exclusively acoustic panels would be inadvisable from an acoustic treatment standpoint. These decorative panels solve for this to ensure synergy in the design aesthetic, while also allowing for implementation of the HEXAGO acoustic panels as much as is required to ensure the room is treated properly for optimal sound performance. Shipping is a fixed all-in rate of $294 per m² (freight + import duties + customs processing; no post-delivery charges). Minimum order: 4 m². Orders are non-cancellable once production begins and non-refundable except for transit damage or defect; damage must be reported within 48 hours with photos.

Highlights & Key Technologies

A Manifesto of the Ridge
Shima is a manifesto against flat, silent walls — a deliberate rebellion against the silence of flat surfaces. Its essence lies in one perfectly executed ridge, the foundational element of your composition. You set the rhythm: with four distinct panel lengths at your disposal, you create your own score and control the transition from serene linear harmony to bold, dynamic asymmetry — building a wall that feels designed, not decorated. A single groove transforms with the day, creating shifting moods with light in motion, and the solid wood speaks of true craftsmanship and authentic material.

Where Shima Tells Its Best Story
In hotel lobbies and exclusive restaurants, it sets the tone as a statement wall or sophisticated backdrop, elevating first impressions. In guest suites, it serves as a luxurious headboard or a refined accent above a writing desk. At home, it defines a reading nook or creates a tranquil corner in the master bedroom. In conference rooms, it becomes a discreet symbol of professionalism.

The MAPAO Collection
The MAPAO collection is the outcome of FORM AT WOOD’s partnership with the French design studio SamplesRoom, headed by Thomas Tutolo — a design enthusiast and wood lover known for his expertise in finding, developing, and launching products that seamlessly fit current design trends. MAPAO is a modular toolkit built from four distinct wooden profiles, each with its own visual signature; with a uniform cross-section and varying lengths, it lets you compose bespoke rhythmic installations with architectural clarity. The true essence of MAPAO lies in its absolute modularity: designed to flow seamlessly in both horizontal and vertical orientations, the system invites you to break the monotony of flat surfaces, allowing the creation of intricate, multi-dimensional patterns that play with light and shadow — a wall that is as much a piece of art as it is a structural element. Mounting is via mounting adhesive. To master the natural tension of timber, the solid wood surface is fused with a high-density plywood core, keeping the panel structurally stable and perfectly flat, with digital CNC accuracy merged with manual artisanal finishing and hand polishing.

Wood Species & Tailored Finish
Available in European oak, American walnut, and ash, sourced exclusively from strictly managed, sustainable forests with every plank traceable to its source. Oak’s rich tannin content grants total mastery over color, with an essential palette of six stains: Snow White (C01), Silky Gray (C02), Black (C03), Natural (C04), Dark Brown (C05), and Nordic Raw (C06). A bespoke finishing service can match a supplied oil specification or physical flooring sample; raw, precision-sanded panels are available for on-site finishing workflows; and a varnishing service offers any shade from the RAL/NCS libraries. Due to the organic nature of timber, natural variations in grain, texture, and color are inherent characteristics and are not considered defects.
