Featuring five prints, the Natural Materials Collection offers designers the look of concrete and marble without the echoes
Kirei, a provider of innovative, eco-friendly design materials for commercial interiors, announces the launch of the Natural Materials Collection for Kirei Ink, custom-printed acoustic recycled PET panels and products that speak volumes without making a sound.
Kirei Ink’s Natural Materials Collection brings all the beauty of natural stone into any interior space but is light as a feather. This collection flips the script on Natural Materials, offering the visual tactility of fabrics and the acoustic performance of recycled PET. Designers can choose from five prints — Calacatta, Travertine, Concrete, Linen, and Grasscloth — to add eye-catching stonework or subtle textures that blend in to make places feel new.
“From rustic to modern, natural materials help us create a more holistic and calming environment, and that’s what we set out to achieve with Kirei Ink’s Natural Materials Collection,” says Michael DiTullo, independent designer and leader of the direction of Kirei Ink. “With nature-inspired hues, such as earthy browns and rich textures, Kirei Ink’s Natural Materials Collection helps designers achieve the Calacatta marble slab of their dreams or the beautiful airiness of Linen without having to worry about acoustics or sustainability.”
Kirei Ink is 100% customizable and printed in-house so that any print can be applied to Kirei’s products, including baffles, clouds, wall tiles, and more. Kirei Ink’s customization gives designers endless possibilities – from solid custom colors and patterns to wayfinding and logos – to reduce noise in any interior space in thoughtful new ways. The Natural Materials Collection is the second of four collections launched as a part of Kirei Ink.
Kirei Ink is printed on PET felt panels made from 60% post-consumer recycled PET with numerous environmental certifications, including Declare Label (Red List Free), HPD, and Low-VOC. Kirei Ink panels are printed using water-soluble, Greenguard-certified PROGRAPHIC® UV ink. The LED inks contain less than .03% volatile organic compounds, are void of heavy metals, and contain up to 50% monomers and oligomers naturally derived from renewable resources, such as plants and biomass. Kirei Ink panels are manufactured to abut with no trimming.
