Kirei, a provider of innovative eco-friendly design materials for any interior, announced the launch of EchoTile Sync, a timeless modular acoustic tile system to bring any space into sync.
Developed in collaboration with renowned designer Michael DiTullo, the modular system of EchoTile Sync creates a nearly infinite number of options to design the perfect look for any space. Users can build out a feature wall and bring unity across rooms with these dynamic acoustic tiles that both absorb and inspire.
“A room is a place to live, to play, to not just work but to create,” says John Stein, President of Kirei. “EchoTile Sync adds a classic wall tile to the mix to make any room a space to be remembered. Its modularity allows for designers to create anything from quiet corners to whimsical walls. We wanted EchoTile Sync to pair with EchoTile Racetrack so designers can have truly unlimited potential with their designs.”
The seven tile sizes (11.5”x11.5”, 11.5”x23”, 11.5”x46”, 23”x23”, 23”x46”, 46”x46”, and 46”x96”) are completely modular with 33 rich and versatile colorways. Each EchoTile Sync tile adds an architectural detail with its beveled edges which are forgiving on uneven walls. EchoTile Sync scales to fit any space with its simple spec and installs easily with construction adhesive. The different shapes and sizes allow designers to choose between creating wild patterns or calming designs while improving occupant well-being through EchoTile Sync’s health certifications and acoustic properties.
