Another award for Kirei EchoPanel, the acoustic panel of choice for sound control. The EchoScreenrolling track won first place in the Reader’s Choice Awards for 2018. Made from recycled plastic bottles, Kirei EchoPanel solves two problems at once: sound control and mitigating waste (see above).

Whether you like them skinny straight or curvy, this new Kirei product is going to upgrade your acoustic options. Introducing, EchoLine, a linear panel which can be wrapped or bent around curves to deaden sound and look good doing it. EchoLine is available in four different styles and 20 colors. A complement to the already robust and diverse EchoPanel options – which include EchoStars, EchoSkys, and EchoScreens – EchoLine creates a bendable, colorful option to satisfy all types of spaces. Sound control means comfort, and we even have an AIA CE course devoted to it.

Kirei recently introduced the Balance Tile: a three dimensional acoustic tile made from recycled plastic bottles. The designers at the World Harvest Church in Roswell, GA, quickly noticed the sleek tile and integrated them into their space, creating a beautiful and comfortable lounge space with depth and visual appeal. The Kirei Balance Tiles were used in the Family Check-In area, where they were flanked by smoky blue furnishings and wall accents.

According to Ymani Tannis, Interior Designer and church member at World Harvest Church:
“We chose this product not only because of its acoustic properties, but also its endless design solutions to meet the aesthetic of the space. I personally love EchoPanels and all of Kirei's products to execute a great design!”

Our spotlight is on this stunner of an interior renovation in Charlotte, NC – CoCoTiv. Spearheaded by the RdM Architecture Team:

Rick Mack (Architect and General Contractor), Barrow Koslosky (Project Manager), Julia Badorrek (Intern Architect), Miriam Webster (Interior Designer), Doug Williams (Superintendent). What are some of the biggest challenges in renovating these co-working spaces: Acoustics! RdM solved this issue by using EchoPanel Hex Tiles: easy to apply and visually appealing, EchoPanel accomplished exactly what RdM was hoping to achieve.

According to Webster, “Providing prototype design services for this new co-working company required extensive research and conceptual initiatives into this emerging industry. RdM worked closely with the Owner to achieve maximum revenue opportunities by maximizing occupancy and memberships.”

CoCoTiv is situated on the 4th floor of the reimagined Park Seneca Building originally built in 1970, the 12,600 SF space has beautiful views of the uptown Charlotte skyline looking north and suburban views to South Park. Webster was pleased with the final design, calling it “an artful combination of hard, rough building components, exposed structure, systems, and utilities, and street graphics are softened with reclaimed wood and neutral fabrics with splashes of trendy color elements then blended into a gritty but comfortable urban oasis.” We love being part of the solution, and Kirei EchoPanel always delivers.

Gensler, one of the leading architecture firms in the world, is not immune to running into design problems. Like sound control in open spaces. Expansive floor plans and open layouts introduce a myriad of issues when it comes to treating acoustics in these spaces. Fortunately, their Raleigh office was able to draw on Kirei EchoPanel and its multiple shapes and configurations to create a colorful acoustic solution in an open office environment. EchoPanel bucks the acoustic norms in its breadth of shapes, sizes, colors, patterns and customizations available. According to Gensler, “We needed some acoustical panels that came in fun colors and were at a great price point – Kirei met all our requirements.” A sound decision, we agree!
