Custom Acoustic Wall Art – Contemporary Wood Wall Sculptures

I recently completed a custom acoustic wall art project for a private client in Quebec. The work included two large-format (30″ × 40″) handcrafted wooden sound diffuser panels designed specifically for their audio listening space.

This project was about combining acoustic performance with custom wood art and furniture design. Besides that, the goal was not only to improve room acoustics, but also to create statement pieces that visually anchor the entire audio wall.

Each sound diffuser panel was designed and handmade, using carefully selected natural wood. The assemblage pattern is not only decorative — it is designed to diffuse sound reflections, helping to reduce echo, standing waves, and sound coloration. This makes the panels ideal for listening rooms, home theatres, studios, and modern living spaces where sound quality matters.

The client requested large-scale pieces, so both diffusers were custom-sized and proportioned specifically for the wall and audio system. Every detail was considered: dimensions, depth, wood tone, and overall visual balance.

From the beginning, this project was treated as an art piece, not only as acoustic equipment. The panels needed to stand on their own visually, even if you didn’t know they were designed to work with sound. The acoustic function was important, but it followed the composition, scale, and rhythm of the design.

If you are looking for custom acoustic panels, wooden sound diffusers made in Canada, or bespoke acoustic wall art that enhances both sound and interior design, feel free to reach out.

Toronto AudioFest is coming back!

The Toronto Audiofest is Ontario’s new and acclaimed consumer electronics exhibition. It brings together over 200 brands of the best audio and video equipment from around the world. Also, it is the perfect place to come if you’re considering acquiring a complete system or only a new piece of equipment. Additionally, the show organizers have more than 50 years of experience in the music and audio industry. Like everyone, they started with a love of music that soon became enlightened by better sound reproduction.

Visiting the Toronto Audiofest is surely safe – protocols are in place to help ensure a safe environment and plenty of care is being taken to keep visitors and exhibitors safe.
This will be our first in-person expo since the start of the pandemic and we are very excited to welcome you at kiosk 2_10.

Besides, this year we introduce something new. Uniquely designed desktop open baffle speakers will be on display. We want our speakers to be like an extraordinary piece of art that deserves a special place in your home or office.

Lockdown ART Project. Nature-inspired decor to promote indoor wellness.

The world paused, but creativity kept breathing.

This lockdown art project began as a personal response to a time of global uncertainty. With routines interrupted and noise replaced by silence, the studio became a sanctuary — a place to work through the stillness, anxiety, and longing for connection.

Each sculpture was created from reclaimed wood already in the studio, making the process entirely dependent on what was available. The limitations became part of the beauty. Shapes evolved more intuitively, textures more tactile, and the pace slowed — revealing a deeper layer of presence in the work.

Rather than chasing a concept, the process became about listening — to the material, to the mood, and to the moment. Each form in this series carries a quiet strength — shaped not only by tools and hands, but by time, solitude, and reflection.

This lockdown art project became more than a creative outlet; it was a form of grounding, healing, and reimagining.

These times are strange and unsettling. The whole world is on pause. A time for reflection and an opportunity to look inward. A time to take notice and appreciate the simple things in life. A time to be grateful for what we have …. and for those around us that help make our days a little bit better

Immersing myself in the making of something is incredibly calming. It’s something I’m really trying to do more regularly as the restlessness of self-isolation and social distancing kick in.

Celebrating Earth Day. Eco Art/ Sustainable Design

Earth Day is a very special day specifically designed for all of us to think about our planet’s issues. It is not only a special day in the town where we live, but a day that the whole world participates in! Let’s celebrate it together with eco-art and sustainable design!

Eco-friendly wooden wall sculpture for Earth Day — Solo Art Exhibition at Ajax ON Town Hall, March 19 – April 23, 2020

The unique wall-hanging sculptures, eco art and sustainable design made entirely from recycled wood, were designed and created to inspire the audience to see things in a different way and to share a positive message on how we can reuse and recycle in creative way. Recycling is the future, our mother Earth has limited resources and we have to learn how to REuse, REcycle and Reduce our materials and products consumption in order to decrease our footprint.

I do some ‘non-traditional art’, made from recycled wood that has been abandoned by industries. There is a great pleasure in giving the wood a second life. In my belief, wood retains the spirit of the living tree and I just try to honour it. Much of my inspiration comes from the wood itself. Collecting wood simply for its natural beauty is the start of many of my works. Old wood has scratches, cracks, knots and other imperfections that are similar to real life. Every piece of wood is like a person, with its unique character, challenges and strengths.

Feng Shui Design. Details Matter.

Feng Shui-inspired wood wall art by Woodblocks Design — “Rhapsody” 30″x30″

At Woodblocks Design, we create more than just visual beauty — we craft intention. Our Feng Shui wall art is designed to harmonize your environment by integrating natural materials, thoughtful geometry, and emotional resonance. Each piece supports the energy flow (chi) of your space while elevating your interior style.

In Feng Shui, every object in your environment influences energy. Wall art plays a powerful role — it’s not just decoration, but a visual affirmation of balance, inspiration, and flow.
Wood, in particular, represents growth, flexibility, and new beginnings — a perfect element to infuse into your living space through wall sculptures.

Feng Shui revolves around five elemental energies. Here’s how our art connects to each one:

🌳 Wood – Present in our materials: raw edges, natural grain, and organic forms symbolize growth and creativity.
🔥 Fire – Represented in sharp angles or warm tones, fire stimulates passion and transformation.
🌍 Earth – Our textures ground and stabilize a space, perfect for achieving calm and security.
🛠️ Metal – Clean lines or subtle metallic accents bring clarity, focus, and discipline.
💧 Water – Flowing curves and deep hues offer emotional depth, calmness, and intuitive energy.

Second Life. Artistic repurposing of the dead tree.

Giving Trees a Second Life: A Philosophy in Wood

Nature never truly dies — it transforms.

At Woodblocks Design, we create art from dead trees, giving discarded trunks, branches, and fallen limbs a second chance at meaning. These pieces once stood tall, offering shade, life, and quiet presence in the world. Now, they speak again — not through leaves, but through texture, tone, and form.

The Process of Artistic Repurposing

Every reclaimed tree tells a story.

When we receive salvaged wood — from a storm-felled maple, an uprooted cedar, or a rotting oak — we listen. The shape of the grain, the knots, the imperfections all guide our hands. Instead of forcing the material, we collaborate with it.

The result is sculpture with soul: raw, refined, imperfect, and alive in a new way.

Creating art from dead trees isn’t just a poetic act — it’s a sustainable one.

Repurposing wood minimizes waste, honors natural resources, and contributes to conscious design. In an era of overproduction and fast consumption, our work invites stillness and reverence.

Each piece is one-of-a-kind — not only because of the tree it came from, but because of the energy we put into reclaiming it.

Our sculptures live in homes, offices, meditation spaces, and galleries — wherever stillness and natural beauty are welcome.

Clients often commission pieces that hold personal meaning: a tree from their childhood home, a branch from a favorite trail, a log saved from a fire. These works are not just art — they are memory made physical.

Explore & Commission

If you’re drawn to the idea of living with a story-rich object, we invite you to explore our acoustic wood panels and custom sculpture work.
