Designed by Jordi Gali, the Barceló Raval hotel in Barcelona, Spain, features 2200 Basotect ceiling baffles made from BASF's flexible melamine resin foam. Basotect’s low weight, sound absorption properties and ability to be manufactured in different shapes made it an obvious material choice for the ceiling design of the hotel lobby. An open-cell, fine-foam structure that is inherently flame-retardant and acoustically absorptive, Basotect reduces noise reverberations and improves speech intelligibility throughout the entire space.

Found only in sub tropical climates where it can reach heights of 15 to 20 meters, "big bamboo" is grown and harvested in the managed forests of China. MOSO is the Chinese word for this particular species of bamboo which supplies the bamboo blocks from which MOSO's veneer is sliced. To avoid cracks during handling, their bamboo veneer is backed with cellulose fleece which facilitates the ease of pressing the veneer to a substrate panel. MOSO's multi-layer veneer is available in three colors: natural, caramel and khaki.
