Form At Wood Decorative Designer Series: Impressions (D01) – 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 $371 per m² (freight + import duties + customs processing; no post-delivery charges). Minimum order: 3 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 Vision by Karim Rashid
The IMPRESSIONS model is a special 3D panel that sparks imagination and engages all the senses. It was designed in collaboration with the renowned designer Karim Rashid, who is considered a living legend in the international design community; the pattern of the panel was personally created by Karim Rashid, making it truly unique. In the designer’s words: “The subtle thumb-like impressions were inspired by painters techniques – treating the wood as if it is liquid paint leaving impressions that are painterly organic imprints. The three dimensional concave indentations can be reconfigured in many variations to create walls that have depth and texture, playing with light and shadow to give greater depth and dimension to our spaces.” The DESIGNER series is a testament to the power of collaboration, marrying the distinctive and creative visions of independent designers with the technological prowess and craftsmanship of FORM AT WOOD.

Concave Form, Configurable Themes
Inspired by art and nature, the square-profile panel’s concave form offers the possibility to create 2 different themes, providing greater depth and dimension to the space, with a perpendicular form that makes for ease of assembly and quick and easy DIY installation. Made to order in Poland, with typical delivery of 6–8 weeks from order confirmation (~5 weeks production + 1–2 weeks express international transit and customs clearance).

Engineered Construction
To master the natural tension of timber, the solid wood surface is fused with a high-density plywood core; this architectural layering provides a counter-force to the grain, 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 — whether the classic and timeless oak, the light and refined ash, or noble American walnut. 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.
