MYCELIUM INTERIOR PANELSGrown for
Grown for
better spaces.
We’re exploring a new kind of interior panel, grown from mycelium and plant fibres. An exposed natural finish, with thermal and acoustic potential built into the idea.
In development in Latvia
A grown material.
A designed system.
We see an opportunity to bring material development and architectural design into the same conversation. The aim is an interior panel that earns its place through both how it performs and how it feels in a room.
MYCOFORM is our working project name. Our own formulations and assemblies are being developed.
Fibres, connected by mycelium.
Mycelium is the thread-like network of a fungus. We are exploring how it can bind plant fibres into a coherent composite, then be dried and inactivated for use as an interior material.
- Candidate feedstock
- Agricultural and wood fibres
- Binding network
- Mycelium
- Intended final state
- Dried and inactivated
Designed for the whole wall.
The panel, its surface and its connections are being developed together. We want an assembly that can be handled, fixed, removed and replaced with care for the existing building.
- Starting panel concept
- 600 × 1,200 × 100 mm
- Intended use
- Non-load-bearing interior panel
- Design status
- Geometry will evolve through testing
Evidence before performance claims.
Thermal behaviour, sound absorption, fire response, moisture and dimensional stability all need evidence. Our roadmap combines small repeatable trials, specialist screening and assembly reviews.
Explore the development planNo certified thermal, acoustic or fire performance is claimed at this stage.
From fibre
to a new form.
A biological process, guided by practical design. We begin small, record what happens and improve the process before asking it to do more.
Let the network grow
Introduce mycelium and explore controlled growing conditions. The network develops through the fibres as the composite takes shape.
Dry, shape and test
Dry and inactivate the material, assess stability and refine the surface and connections. Feed each result into the next iteration.
Small trials.
Clear next steps.
Our proposed nine-month development route links every larger step to what we learn first. These are planned milestones, not completed test results.
Current stage: early material and system development- Months 0–3Candidate process
Find a repeatable starting point
Compare three material and process variants with small replicates, make connection mock-ups and document 15 customer interviews. Establish the venture and agree founder responsibilities.
- Months 3–6Evidence and iteration
Measure, learn, refine
Seek targeted thermal, acoustic and fire screening, observe moisture and stability, and review the wall interface with a specialist. Use findings to refine the panel and assembly.
- Months 6–9Demonstration assembly
Bring the system into view
Aim for a small demonstration batch and controlled mock wall. Assess handling and reassembly, calculate batch costs and discuss a suitable supervised pilot.
Three perspectives.
One material question.
Architecture, design and hands-on experimentation come together in our founding team. We are building the material and the venture side by side.

A few useful answers.
Is the finished panel alive?
Our intended panel is dried and inactivated after growth. We are developing a stable composite rather than a living wall, and the drying and inactivation process itself needs validation.
Can I order panels now?
We are at the development stage and are not offering a certified commercial panel yet. We welcome conversations about the material, research and suitable future pilot applications.
What performance has been established?
Thermal, acoustic, fire and moisture performance have not yet been verified for our panel system. These questions drive the testing roadmap; concept imagery is not evidence of measured performance.
How can we work together?
We would like to hear from architects, research and testing specialists, material suppliers and potential pilot hosts. Tell us about your expertise or the application you have in mind.
