What Zilenzio does

Zilenzio is a Swedish designer and manufacturer of sound-absorbing products for offices, education, hospitality, and public spaces. Founded in 2004 in Örebro and headquartered as Zilenzio AB, the company is co-founded and co-owned by Jenny Helldén and Marie Lindqvist-Pahlstad, with Hans Bergström as CEO. The full product portfolio spans five categories - floor screens, table screens, wall panels, ceiling absorbers, and seating/storage - and is unified by a stone wool core technology that delivers high acoustic absorption (NRC up to 1.00), fire class A1 incombustibility, and removable, replaceable fabrics covered by a 20-year warranty.

The company operates a hybrid distribution model: a dealer and agent network covering approximately 20 countries is complemented by direct staff presence in six countries (Sweden, Norway, Germany, Finland, Denmark, and the USA), a Stockholm showroom, and consultative sales supported by an Absorption Calculator and 3D visualization tools. Manufacturing is conducted in Sweden, Poland, and Lithuania. Strategic design collaborations with Yonoh, Norm Architects, Constance Guisset Studio, Note Design Studio, and Paper Collective anchor the brand in the architectural specification ecosystem.

Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of acoustic products, complemented by free consultative services that drive specification and by the newer Re-Zell offering for renovation, reupholstery, and rental. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is bootstrapped, has no disclosed funding rounds, and reports no revenue figures; it holds Möbelfakta certification on 78% of its range (75% of 2024 revenue), FSC-certified wood sourcing, multiple EPDs, and a stated climate-neutral target before 2030, positioning it for sustainability-mandated procurement.

Direct peers

• BuzziSpace: Belgian acoustic solutions company making sound-absorbing screens, walls, ceilings, pods and furniture. Direct comparable on product mix, design-led approach and focus on workplace noise problems.
• Abstracta: Swedish manufacturer of sound-absorbent screens, room dividers and acoustic furniture for offices and public spaces. Direct match on product category (screens, dividers, absorbers), Nordic customer base and design-led positioning.
• Offecct (Flokk): Swedish acoustic furniture and space-dividing products brand (now part of Flokk) targeting offices and public interiors. Comparable on premium acoustic furniture including screens, pods and seating collections.
• BAUX: Swedish acoustic products company selling wood-wool and textile panels and tiles for workplaces with a strong design-led brand. Comparable to Zilenzio on target customer (corporate offices), sustainability narrative and Scandinavian design positioning.
• Sonex (Pinta Acoustic): US-based manufacturer of acoustic panels, baffles and ceiling clouds under the Sonex brand for offices, schools and healthcare. Comparable to Zilenzio on wall and ceiling absorption categories, particularly relevant as Zilenzio expands in the US.
• Spigogroup (Spigo): Manufacturer of acoustic panels, baffles and ceilings for offices and public buildings. Overlaps with Zilenzio on wall and ceiling absorbers in commercial interiors, particularly across Europe.
• Troldtekt: Danish manufacturer of wood-wool acoustic panels for ceilings and walls across offices, education and public buildings. Closely comparable on material-led acoustic panel offering and strong sustainability certifications.

Broad incumbents

• Knauf AMF: Knauf's acoustic ceiling and wall systems division serving European commercial construction. Overlaps with Zilenzio in office ceiling absorbers but operates at building-systems scale with broader product range.
• Ecophon (Saint-Gobain): Saint-Gobain's acoustics brand producing wall and ceiling sound absorbers used in offices, schools and healthcare. Zilenzio competes directly on the same office-acoustics specification projects but Ecophon operates at a much larger scale and broader product breadth.

Regional players

• Decibel (by SG Products) / Starvend: Other Nordic and European distributors/integrators of office acoustic solutions serving similar channels as Zilenzio's dealer network. Useful as a regional sales-and-distribution comparable rather than as a direct product competitor.
