SOUND ABSORBENTS WITH WORLD-CLASS ACOUSTICS AND ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS

NATURAL HARMONY

With an increasingly frantic pace of life, peace and quiet has become a scarce

commodity. Unfortunately modern architecture can increase the problem with busy

environments and noise pollution. From offices and open floor plans, a constant

flow of visual and auditory impression comes towards us from all directions.

Our sound absorbers are designed to prevent interference sources. They shield

off and create enclosed spaces while effectively absorbing the noise and provide

peace of mind.

Our second goal in the development of future absorbents focuses on the inner

values. We do not think avoiding toxic materials is good enough. A good material

should be in harmony with nature all the way. We have therefore developed a very

special absorbent material – Ecolin. It consists of flax and corn, and is covered

with cloth of pure sheep wool. With biodegradable natural materials your conscience

can remain clear as well.

GENUINE AND NATURAL

Morgana is located in the heart of rural south Scandinavia. A region built on

small-scale forestry, agriculture and craftsmanship. Our closest neighbours

– the woods and fields – is not only a source of inspiration. They are also the

sources where we obtain our raw materials.

From the forest, we take the wood that frames our screen walls and absorbers.

In the fields both corn and flax are grown, before they become the components

of our proprietary fiber material. Just beyond, on the meadow, the sheep graze

that provide wool for the fabric covering. The local view of raw material supply

is not a new invention, in response to today’s buzz around locally produced goods.

The roots of our company is a carpentry business with a long history where we,

through the ages, have found the raw material in the woods around the corner.

From our carpentry past we have also inherited some other properties that may

be worth mentioning, craftsmanship and care for the end product. Pride in a

job well done lives on even if today it is designed furnishings in future-friendly

materials that we supply to our customers.

UNDERSTATED YETDISTINCTIVE DESIGNFor our sound absorbers to function in the

environment where they end up they also

require a harmonious appearance. We have

therefore used experienced decorators and

designers. In a fine line between appearance

and function, we have strived to create

shapes that appeal to the eye, yet break and

absorb the sound waves. The end result is

a range of products that reduce noise,

but also enhances the visual experience.

DESIGN: MIJA KINNING Mija is for many a familiar face as a long-

term presenter in one of Swedish television’s most popular building and

interior shows. She has become known as a creative and innovative designer

with a viable design language and solutions that most people can relate to.

– Modern architecture with open floor plans, high ceilings and many hard

building materials has its disadvantages. A lively three year old with rolling

toys in such an environment will soon become a noise problem.

– I see it as a necessary challenge for us designers to overcome these pro-

blems. We must find solutions that reduce and absorb sound, while in terms

of design can blend into the space, both at home and in public spaces.

– At Morgana we are inspired by Mija’s ideas. Our goal is to realize them into

products that create harmony in the interior environment as well as the exte-

rior, with organic materials as a natural consequence.

SOUNDB Y M I J A K I N N I N G

Our range of sound absorbents include wall, ceiling and standing/

hanging models. In many of the models you can choose from

our proprietary Ecolin material, with outstanding performance

in both acoustic and from an environmental perspective, or a

simpler but cost-effective polyester fiber.

Whichever type you choose, it’s the acoustic characteristics

that has been the primary consideration for us in the design

of our absorbers. Period.

FUNCTION

The hard-pressed edges of our absorbents provide stability and make them easy to assemble. Some panels can be directly fit into standard suspended ceiling structures . We also have an extensive range of smart mounting solutions for wall, ceiling, floor and suspended installation.

FITTING When we design our absorbers the visible mold on the outside interact with the construction on the inside. The hard-pressed edges breaks the sound waves and reflect them in different directions. Behind the flat surfaces are a thicker layer of absorbent material that cushions and absorbs sound waves.

SHAPED FOR OPTIMAL ACOUSTICS

In our quest for greener solutions, we offer two fabrics that both are fully biodegradable. Either pure sheep’s wool or bamboo fiber. Wool is fire resistant and has good humidity-regulating properties. Bamboo is naturally antistatic and antibacterial. It is grown without pesticides and also absorbs five times more green-house gases than cotton.

FABRIC

Our proprietary absorbent material, Ecolin, has amazing qualities of sound absorption – both in the attenuation of sound and reduction of reverbera-tion values (echo). The material is particularly effective in reducing rustling and whirring sound in high frequencies. Ecolin consists of fibers from flax which are moldable and fixed by the addition of PLA (corn starch).

ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY ABSORBING MATERIAL WITH EXCELLENT ACOUSTIC PROPERTIES

When evaluating a sound absorber, it is

measured how much it attenuates sounds

in different frequency ranges. The clas-

sification is based on a standard curve

of the measured product to surpass. In

the diagram you can see that our Ecolin

absorber exceeds the highest classifica-

tion - ’A’. In the higher frequencies with a

very wide margin.

All our absorbers are tested and approved

to fire classification EN ISO 11925-2.

SOUNDB Y M I J A K I N N I N G

We design, develop and produce sound absorbents

for public and private environments. We work with

established designers and engineers to produce

absorbents with high customer value. Both the

shape and the environment must meet today’s

strict customer requirements. Therefore, we use

only recyclable or biodegradable natural materials.
