Kirei announces the launch of the Wood Collection for Kirei Ink, custom-printed acoustic recycled PET panels and products that speak volumes without making a sound.
Kirei Ink’s Wood Collection brings the warmth of natural wood inside and combines it with the acoustic performance of PET. The collection features five different types of printed wood — Pine, White Wash, Dark Walnut, Gray Wash, and Dark Oak — to enjoy the look of natural wood without the harsh sounds of hard surfaces.
“Kirei Ink is as unique as designers and their clients are,” says Michael DiTullo, Creative Director of Kirei and leader of the direction of Kirei Ink. “The warmth of wood is naturally beautiful by design, but its hard surfaces can be tough on the ears. Not to mention, sustainably sourcing wood can be just as tough. Kirei Ink’s Wood Collection helps designers to bring nature indoors to create a more holistic and calming environment 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.
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.
