FIRST LOOKS
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 Geo Collection is the third 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.
72 The Business of Furniture | Subscribe at bellowpress.com | January 25, 2023 LIGHTING Flos Skynest: Hypnotizing Woven Light Ɇ A combination of technological innovation and whimsical design, Skynest is Flos’ newest pendant made in collaboration with Marcel Wanders Studio. Skynest is designed for sustainability – LED strips pass through recycled woven polyester fabric tubes creating a basket-like pattern, bringing an artisanal yet sophisticated energy to interiors. Micro-connectors keep each piece in place and make it possible for the pendant to easily be fully disassembled for repairs, replacements, and proper recycling. By weaving streaks of light, this pendant perfectly combines elegance and innovation. Delicate textile tubes, integrated with LED lights, are woven like threads along the structure of the lamp creating a unique surprise element that challenges the archetype of bulb lighting. Designed to last, Skynest poetically blends the tradition of handcrafted weaving with innovative lighting techniques to create a timeless piece of design.
