Applications
Use case 1
Panels designed for restaurants, hotels, lounges, and premium interiors where materiality matters as much as acoustic comfort.
Use case 2
A specification-led pathway for offices, galleries, and public interiors seeking performance without defaulting to petroleum foams.
Use case 3
Three-dimensional surface language that lets the acoustic system operate as a visual identity layer, not just a hidden technical insert.
The GCC imports its acoustic construction materials. That makes lead times, pricing, and material choices dependent on overseas suppliers.
NUMU is building local production in Dubai so acoustic projects can source a distinctive bio-based system regionally rather than treating sustainability as an imported add-on.
The entry product is not a commodity board. It is a premium acoustic surface grown from mycelium and regional agricultural fibres, tuned for interiors where design and specification meet.
That matters commercially because the acoustic line supports stronger early margins, faster sales cycles, and a credible route to larger specification work after certification.
This offer is aimed at architects, interior designers, hospitality groups, workplace teams, and fit-out partners looking for an alternative to imported synthetic panels in Dubai and the wider GCC.
Frequently searched questions
NUMU is based in Dubai and is already advancing acoustic installations and project discussions in the UAE. Availability depends on project scope, timing, and specification needs.
Mycelium acoustic panels are bio-based panels grown from a fungal root structure bonded with natural fibres. NUMU uses that system to create architectural acoustic surfaces with lower dependence on petrochemical foams.
Architects, interior designers, hospitality operators, and fit-out teams evaluating acoustic materials for UAE or GCC projects can contact NUMU for samples, consultation, and project fit review.
