Studio Samira Boon

Studio Samira Boon is a textile architecture studio based in Amsterdam and Tokyo. As experts in the material properties of textiles, the studio’s adaptive and interactive structures enhance the use and experience of spaces, acoustics, climate regulation and energy efficiency. In collaboration with their clients, they design and produce site-specific textile solutions. Commissioned by renowned companies, Studio Samira Boon develops concepts, and together with research institutes, they investigate technical innovations for 3D structures and sustainable textiles.

Being aware that the textile industry is a major contributor to climate change and determined to change this, Studio Samira Boon actively works towards a circular textile system by investigating environmentally friendly options. Through material research, they are developing and attaining new insight into sustainable innovations and conscious materials: “After several years of cross-disciplinary research we are very proud to implement the results into the high-performative biobased interior element: BioFold.”

BioFold by Studio Samira Boon

Biofold is a unique series of interior acoustic elements, composed of hard-to-recycle and non-reusable textile waste streams from jute coffee bags, viscose from the mattress industry, denim, or locally sourced hemp. These materials are combined together with biobased plastics to generate a sustainable biocomposite. Due to its folded shape and structure, BioFold reaches the highest acoustic properties. Its parametrically-designed folded surface gives interiors a distinct, sustainable identity and it can be installed as a wall panel or an acoustic element. 

This unique sustainable sound-panel received the Architizer A+Award in the acoustics category.
