PLUMA
PLUMA is a new collection of 100% circular, slim wallcovering panels, with soundabsorbing properties
How does it work?
PLUMA collection marks an unprecedented revolution for interior design comfort. PLUMA modules are made from soft, foam-like mycelium materials and upcycled textile residues.
Thanks to the latest innovations implemented, the customisation possibilities of PLUMA panels become endless. It is in fact possible to imprint any texture on the mycelium, to obtain a completely bespoke and unique product.
Furthermore, PLUMA's unique textures developed and designed by mogu, feature patterns that perfectly match even when the panels are rotated. A feature that makes PLUMA panels fully versatile and dynamic elements for interior design purposes.
PLUMA are 100% circular and biodegradable products, with no use of petroleum-based components, plastics or formaldehyde, and they positively contribute to indoor air comfort, due to the lack of any VOC emission.
Why is it needed?
PLUMA is a pioneering product capable of providing an innovative and natural look to all interiors, while enhancing comfort and pleasure in the everyday life thanks to its unique aesthetics and acoustic performance.
Mogu PLUMA panels are designed to provide all spaces with an innovative, yet fully natural experience.
PLUMA panels are designed to renovate and valorise interior spaces without sacrificing the importance of factors, such as acoustic and thermal insulation.
Furthermore, the extraordinary elastic properties of mycelium allow to achieve high resolution details along the embossing process.
Hence, Mogu's new production technology makes PLUMA panels an elegant and sophisticated product that can aesthetically revolutionise environments, such as for instance offices, restaurants and shop.
How does it improve life?
Mogu was founded on the belief that it is possible to employ Nature’s intelligence to radically disrupt the design of everyday products, seeking a finer balance between the man-made and the rhythms of the natural ecosystem. We bring Nature closer to people, meeting the needs of everyday life, both functionally and aesthetically.
A vision of interior design that embraces Nature’s radical character, to establish a more honest relationship with the surrounding environment, as opposed to traditional solutions in the market mostly relying on the exploitation of finite resources.
This vision is embedded in the products designed by Mogu, industrially crafted with the lowest environmental impact possible, to offer radically innovative experiences at scale.
We thrive to employ only residues as raw input materials, setting new value for unexploited resources through the skilful action of mycelium, offering functional, beautiful, durable and meaningful products with a sustainable life cycle.
