Diffusr™ is an interior façade cladding product that diffuses light and sound through its placement of small apertures in response to room conditions.
The structure of the cladding adopts an efficient use of material and forms a tectonic network where each panel shares its attachment rods with each of its neighbours. This structural network allows the product to take on a low-polygon, mesh-like appearance whereby the cladding surface is reconstructed with a screen of unique quadrilateral shapes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Diffusr™ is an interior façade cladding system designed to diffuse both light and sound through strategically placed small apertures. Its unique pattern of holes responds to room conditions to soften harsh reflections and improve acoustic comfort while adding visual texture to walls or ceilings.
Diffusr™ consists of 3 mm plywood panels connected with threaded rods, with finishes available in paint, melamine, polypropylene or veneer. The panels attach in a mesh-like network of quadrilateral shapes, creating a continuous surface that marries form and function.
The small apertures across the Diffusr™ surface help scatter sound waves, reducing pronounced reflections and echo—an acoustic benefit useful in large or reverberant spaces. While specific acoustic performance values are detailed in its specifications, the design supports sound diffusion alongside visual rhythm.
Yes. Diffusr™ is tested to EN 13986 E1 for eco-friendly material standards and EN 13501-1 Class B s1 d0 for fire-rated performance. These certifications mean the product is both environmentally responsible and compliant with interior fire safety requirements.
Yes. Diffusr™ panels come with a range of hole diameters from 1 mm up to 12 mm, allowing designers to tailor the balance of light diffusion and acoustic response. The modular quadrilateral pattern and varied finishes help integrate the system into diverse architectural styles and interior schemes.
