The role of the architect in the modern world has long transcended aesthetics and functionality. Today, every project is a complex ecosystem in which you must juggle the client's priorities, rigorous standards, a tight budget, and increasing pressure for environmental responsibility. Every material chosen is a statement – not only of style but also of values. The challenge is to find products that are more than the sum of their parts: they must be beautiful, technically efficient, and authentically sustainable.

The requirement for "green building" has ceased to be an addition to the brief and has become its foundation. Clients expect spaces that are not only energy-efficient but, most importantly, healthy for users and kind to the planet. This presents you with the task of verifying manufacturers' claims, avoiding "greenwashing," and seeking truly sustainable solutions. You need materials with documented origins, low VOC emissions, and a real contribution to the circular economy.

How to find a material in the jungle of available options that is not a compromise but a synthesis of all these requirements? How to combine a bold artistic vision with hard data on acoustics, fire safety, and ecology, without sacrificing anything? It is with this challenge in mind that we created the EcoLine series.

Our EcoLine series made from PET felt is the answer to these needs. It is not just a product – it is a comprehensive tool that allows you to design beautiful, functional, and genuinely “green” interiors, while also building your portfolio and reputation.

EcoLine in a nutshell: Arguments that will convince you and your client

  • Ecology that builds your image (and earns points). By choosing EcoLine, you show that sustainability is embedded in the DNA of your designs. This is a strong branding argument for your client and valuable points in LEED or BREEAM certifications.

  • Design without limits, acoustics at class A. Forget about boring solutions. We give you a vast palette of colors, the possibility of CNC cutting into any patterns (EcoWall Pattern), and the creation of spatial 3D forms (EcoBaffle), all with a guarantee of sound absorption at the highest class A.

  • Healthy interiors that users will appreciate. PET material does not dust (unlike mineral wool), does not emit toxins, and is resistant to mold. You create a safe and health-friendly space, which is crucial in offices, schools, or medical facilities.

  • Durability that is an investment. EcoLine is a solution for years. The panels are resistant to damage, deformation, and UV rays. For your client, this means lower maintenance costs and the assurance that the interior will look great for a long time.

1. Ecology in a circular economy – from bottle to design

The heart of the EcoLine series is an innovative PET material made from the recycling and upcycling of plastic bottles. This is a tangible example of a circular economy that you can proudly present to your client. Each panel realistically reduces plastic waste, and most importantly, after the product's life cycle, the material can be fully recycled. This is a truly closed loop that turns problematic waste into a valuable element of your project.

Equally important is the safe and clean production process. Thanks to it, the material is completely odorless and does not emit any harmful substances, which translates into a healthy and friendly interior. This is pure ecology that is visible and tangible. That is why, by choosing EcoLine, you are not only using an ecological product – you are telling a story about responsible design. This value resonates with modern brands and investors, building prestige for both the project and your studio.

2. Design meets functionality: Your vision without technical barriers

Often, the biggest pain point is finding a material that is both beautiful and effective. The EcoLine series eliminates this problem.

  • Freedom of form: You can shape our panels and baffles as you wish. Lattice walls (EcoWall Baffle), geometric patterns (EcoWall Pattern), or suspended, spatial structures (EcoBaffle Box) – the only limit is your imagination.

  • Top-notch acoustics: All products in the EcoLine series feature excellent sound absorption parameters (class A, absorption coefficient up to 0.90). This means you can create visually stunning interiors that also provide ideal acoustic comfort – reducing reverberation, enhancing speech intelligibility, and fostering concentration.

3. Safety standard you can rely on

In public utility projects, there is no room for compromise when it comes to safety. Our products give you certainty and peace of mind.

  • High fire class: All products in the EcoLine series have a high fire reaction class (B, s1, d0), making them a safe choice for offices, hotels, restaurants, and other commercial spaces.

  • Hypoallergenic and hygienic: PET material does not attract dust and is antistatic. Its resistance to moisture and mold makes it the ideal solution for all types of interiors, guaranteeing a healthy and clean environment for users.

Summary: EcoLine is more than just material

By choosing the EcoLine series from Nyquista, you gain a partner in creating projects that address the challenges of modernity. You provide your client with a solution that is:

  • Cost-effective – thanks to durability and low maintenance costs.

  • Image-building – thanks to an authentic story of sustainability.

  • Functional – thanks to top-notch acoustics and safety.

  • Beautiful – thanks to unlimited design possibilities.

This is your way to realize ambitious, “green” projects without sacrificing artistic vision and technical perfection.
