Kirei has announced its exclusive North American distribution partnership with AKUART. Joining forces in their shared mission of creating spaces that sound as great as they look, the new partnership marks AKUART’s first distribution point in the North America region, providing increased accessibility for architects and designers searching for eco-friendly visual soundscape solutions.
Made from sustainable materials, AKUART’s four framed acoustic design elements—‘On The Wall’ acoustic wall panels; ‘Hang With Me’ suspended acoustic panels; ‘Stand By Me’ free standing acoustic wall screens; and ‘Shelter Me’ acoustic desk screens—allow designers to select from a variety of art, including solid colors (with color matching available), pre-existing art, or custom images. Each canvas is machine washable, bleach-cleanable and replaceable. The absorber beneath the canvas is a high NRC (.9), low VOC, Class A fire treated sound absorbing PET panel placed within a durable, coated aluminum frame. The frames are available in four standard colors or the option to specify a custom color, as well a variety of sizes. All pre-existing art or custom images are printed at 600 DPI.
The complete AKUART product line includes:
On The Wall: Giving designers the complete freedom to make their own designs, On The Wall is a customizable wall absorber that prevents unwanted sound from bouncing off the walls. These acoustic wall art panels are as flexible as they are functional, with the replaceable printed canvas being a way to keep spaces fresh.
Hang With Me: Suspended acoustic art panels with a replaceable printed canvas on both the front and backsides, Hang With Me panels are characterized by combining acoustic functionality with a graphical composition. Since the panels can be configured to fit the needs of any interior space, Hang With Me is an option when creating acoustic zones in open workplaces.
Stand By Me: A customizable, free-standing acoustic floor screen that keeps inhabitants safe and sound from noisy environments, Stand By Me provides strategic design solutions for existing layout constraints.
Shelter Me: Providing a shield from the hustle of everyday office life, fully-customizable Shelter Me desk screens provide desk workers with acoustic comfort without sacrificing aesthetics.
Providing a variety of design opportunities for workplace, education, hospitality, worship, retail and healthcare environments, AKUART’s collection of customizable framed acoustic art also pairs well with Kirei’s existing EchoPanel product line—a decorative, acoustically absorbent panel with a felt-like finish, made from 100 percent PET plastic—to yield specialized applications that cater to projects’ unique acoustic requirements.
