Fun facts

Core materials that we use are hemp and peat fiber. Interestingly peat fiber is not only a fantastic sound absorber, but it is also antiseptic. In history before penicillin was invented farmers would lay down their sick animals in the peat to heal them, even infants. So, this is truly an amazing material in all aspects.
