About NUMU

Founded by designer and biobased material expert Andy Cartier, NUMU is a UAE-based design studio and production company pioneering nature-crafted materials for tomorrow’s interiors.

“Borrowing from Nature instead of taking from it ..”

We specialize in high-end acoustic and decorative panels made from 100% mycelium ; a living material grown on natural elements only.

Our flagship product, the Fungal Art Series®, merges art, design, and performance. Every panel is grown, not manufactured, resulting in one-of-a-kind surfaces.

NUMU leads the regional shift toward regenerative materials by combining local production, UAE-sourced waste, and elegant design.

Why NUMU?

Because we believe the materials of the future must do more than perform — they must regenerate. By replacing synthetic components with living systems, we help interior designers, architects, and hospitality brands create spaces that are not only beautiful, but meaningful and sustainable.
